35. you're talking about skeletal muscle
Which is different than cardiac muscle. IN a muscle wasting disease (like MD) the skeletal muscles waste, but cardiac and smooth muscles do not. It is unknown whether the treatment will reverse a wasting disease, but It is my belief that the CARDIAC (heart) muscle will grow too big and will eventually lead to heart failure and death in this scenario.
