Friedreich's Ataxia Clinical Trial
Official title:
Biomarkers in Friedreich's Ataxia
The purpose of this project is to characterize measures of cardiac performance and neuromuscular physiology in FA patients using novel techniques, including echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), metabolic exercise testing, and neurophysiological outcomes.
