Abstract
- Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is associated with progressive conduction disease. Furthermore, DM1 patients are at risk ventricular arrhythmias (VAs), although prediction remains difficult. The 2022 Heart Rhythm Expert Consensus Statement gives a IIb recommendation to the use of electrophysiology study (EPS) to risk-stratify patients for VAs. The utility of EPS in predicting the development of VAs, however, has not been explored in this patient population.
