Popis: The pathophysiology of respiratory muscle weakness in myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) remains incompletely understood. 21 adult patients with DM1 (11 men, 42 ± 13 years) and 21 healthy matched controls underwent spirometry, manometry, and diaphragm ultrasound. In addition, surface electromyography of the diaphragm and the obliquus abdominis muscle was performed following cortical and posterior cervical magnetic stimulation (CMS) of the phrenic nerves or magnetic stimulation of the lower thoracic nerve roots. Magnetic stimulation was combined with invasive recording of the twitch transdiaphragmatic and gastric pressure (twPdi and twPgas) in 10 subjects per group. The following parameters were reduced in DM1 patients compared to control subjects: maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP; 40.3 ± 19.2 vs. 95.8 ± 28.5 cmH2O, p
