Neuromuscular outcomes in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) have improved significantly over time. This is creating new opportunities for advanced cardiac therapies such as ventricular assist devices (VAD) and heart transplantation in select patients. To support this evolving care landscape, ACTION has developed a harmonization document based on early clinical experience that summarizes best practices for evaluating patients being considered for these therapies.
