Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked muscular dystrophy in relation with dystrophin deficient. Heart and respiratory function are classically involved and affect long-term prognosis. Significant atrio-ventricular block may occur in some patients. Implantation of traditional pacemaker may be challenging in patients with tracheotomy and on permanent home mechanical ventilation. We report the first case of a successful leadless intra-cardiac trans-catheter pacing system implantation in an adult DMD on wheelchair and on permanent home mechanical ventilation.

无引线心内经导管起搏系统：成人杜氏肌营养不良症 20 个月随访

杜氏肌营养不良症 (DMD) 是一种与肌营养不良蛋白缺乏相关的 X 连锁肌营养不良症。心脏和呼吸功能通常受累并影响长期预后。部分患者可能出现明显的房室传导阻滞。对于气管切开术和永久性家庭机械通气患者，植入传统起搏器可能具有挑战性。我们报告了第一个成功的无引线心脏内经导管起搏系统植入成人 DMD 轮椅和永久家庭机械通气的病例。
