Myotonic dystrophy is a hereditary disorder with systemic involvement. The Italian Neuro-Cardiology Network-“Rete delle Neurocardiologie” (INCN-RNC) is a unique collaborative experience involving neurology units combined with cardio-arrhythmology units. The INCN facilitates the creation of integrated neuro-cardiac teams in Neuromuscular Disease Centers for the management of cardiovascular involvement in the treatment of myotonic dystrophy type 1 (MD1).
