Overview
NICE has reviewed DMD Care UK’s guideline on cardiac care of children with dystrophinopathy and females carrying DMD-gene variations. We think the guideline from DMD Care UK is a useful resource that will help clinicians improve care in this area.
NICE has carried out this review to support improved care and outcomes for people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), and to assist health and care practitioners in their decision making. However, NICE has not developed its own recommendations for this topic.
NICE has chosen to present this guideline on the basis that:
- it covers a condition that NICE does not have an existing guideline on
- it was developed using an appropriate process and methods.
Disclaimer
NICE does not assume responsibility for the content of the guideline, including its clinical recommendations, accuracy, or relevance to specific patient circumstances. Healthcare professionals should exercise their own clinical judgment and consider local policies, individual patient needs, and other relevant guidance before applying any information from the linked material in practice.
