Severe Heart Disease Rare in Patients with Late-onset Pompe Disease, Study Suggests
Patients with late-onset Pompe disease have a lower rate of severe heart disease than those with other forms of the disease, according to a large, retrospective study. This finding suggests that these patients may be able to have less frequent heart-related follow-up exams, such as electrocardiograms (ECG) and echocardiograms (Echo).
