Cardiac conduction abnormalities and Stokes-Adams attacks in myotonic dystrophy.
Can Med Assoc J. 1978 Jun 10; 118(11):1402-4.CM

Abstract

Myotonic dystrophy is a well known cause of cardiomyopathy. While various cardiac conduction abnormalities have been described in patients with myotonic dystrophy, so far only sporadic cases of Stokes-Adams attacks have been reported. Of 27 patients with this disease various conduction disturbances were detected in 17 (63%), 5 of whom presented with Stokes-Adams attacks and were found to have intracardiac conduction defects. The prognosis in four of the five patients was greatly improved with permanent pacemaker implantation.
