Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Dilated cardiomyopathy has been shown to occur in families with X-linked recessive (Becker's) muscular dystrophy. 1 Pedigree members of such families frequently manifest various electrocardiographic anomalies, including infranodal blocks (for example, left bundle branch block and complete atrioventricular block), 2–4 left-axis deviation, small Q waves in leads I and aVL and loss of R-wave amplitude in lead V 2 and V 3. Myocardial perfusion scanning in patients with early-onset, autosomal recessive muscular dystrophy has frequently shown posterobasal and lateral perfusion defects that may be a unique marker of that disorder in the heart. 5 Perfusion scanning in patients with late-onset muscular dystrophy has not been described.
