“…De nombreuses études et méta-analyses confirment actuellement l'efficacité des corticostéroïdes pour ralentir l'aggravation de la faiblesse musculaire que ce soit avant ou après la perte de la marche. L'efficacité des inhibiteurs de l'enzyme de conversion (IEC) sur le déve-loppement de la cardiomyopathie est également bien documentée [54]. D'autres thérapeutiques ou supplémentations diététiques font encore l'objet de recherche [55][56][57][58][59][60][61].…”

“…The disparity between the lifespan of an untreated DMD patient and a treated DMD patient is around 20 years, demonstrating that treatment effectively doubles the lifespan. 1,4 Significant disparities in the timing of intervention exist in 2 areas: (1) presentation delay (time between initial caregiver concern and clinical evaluation, which averages 12 months) and (2) diagnostic delay (time between presentation to a health care professional and initial creatine kinase [CK] diagnostic screening). 16,17 Clinical suspicion is of the utmost importance in making a swift diagnosis and initiating early treatment, as initial caregiver concern typically precedes clinician awareness by about 1 year.…”

“…8 Determining the CK levels in a young patient who presents with the aforementioned signs and symptoms is of paramount importance, as early diagnosis of DMD could potentially add 2 decades to the patient's lifespan. 4 After identifying extensive skeletal muscle damage and obtaining CK levels, the PCP should order genetic testing to determine the type of muscular dystrophy and the specific mutation or deletion present in the patient. 1,24 Knowing the type of muscular dystrophy allows for discussion of available treatment options and future family planning.…”
