The identification of LBBB and fQRS was linked to cardiomyopathy in patients with MD, while ECG-LVH was of limited utility. Importantly, these findings can be applied to effectively screen a broad cohort of MD patients for structural heart disease and prompt further evaluation and therapeutic intervention.
