CONCLUSION
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is an incurable disease with a poor
prognosis. Its most severe complication is related to ventilatory muscle
failure, for this reason, current disease control measures are focused
on maintaining ventilation, preventing infections, and delaying the
progression of muscle damage. Early initiation of patient monitoring,
NIV and treatment with steroids are essential to maintain adequate lung
function for a longer time and prolong life expectancy.
