Summary

This study will test if wearable devices like continuous glucose monitors and heart rate monitors can help predict heart problems in people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Ten participants will wear these devices at home over two years and also have heart scans and glucose tests at the start and end. The goal is to understand if high blood sugar and changes in heart rate variability are linked to heart failure in DMD, which could lead to earlier detection and better care.
