Abstrakt: A 22 year old man with Duchenne's progressive muscular dystrophy is presented. Because of electro-and vectorcardiographic features compatible with ischemic heart disease, coronary angiography was performed in order to rule out obstructive coronary disease, which has been excluded in our case. The coronary tree presented the same characteristics of idiopathic primitive cardiomyopathy. The authors assert that the coronary arteriography is a necessary complement to the diagnosis of Duchenne's muscular dystrophy.
