Study Summary

Investigators recently showed that tadalafil restores functional sympatholysis in patients with Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD). If tadalafil restores functional sympatholysis in BMD via the NO-cyclic guanosine monophosphate pathway, then functional sympatholysis should also be restored by sodium nitrite- which is an indirect nitric oxide donor.

Primary Outcome

The pre-specified primary outcome is the pre vs. post treatment change in functional sympatholysis measured by muscle oxygenation.
