Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: * Age over 10 years (DMD) or 12 years (healthy) * Male * Ambulant For patients only: - a mutation in the DMD gene that affects both Dp427 and Dp140

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: * No informed consent * Medical history of CV disease, diabetes mellitus, neurological disease (other than DMD) * History of recurrent syncope * Joint contractures preventing the use of the HUT * Contraindication to MRI exposure (*vragenlijst MRI onderzoek*) * Inability to lie supine for at least 45 minutes

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary end-points of this study are differences in systemic blood pressure, global cerebral blood flow velocity and local cerebral perfusion between healthy controls and patients with DMD.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
- Systolic / diastolic blood pressure - Heart rate - Total peripheral resistance - End-tidal CO¬2 content (PetCO¬2) - Blood volume shift - Sustained attention to response task score and regional brain blood flow response - General intellectual function based on PPVT - Response time and pressing endurance measured with FePsy - Cardiac function: stroke volume and shortening fraction of left ventricle
