Early-Onset Dilated Cardiomyopathy in a Patient with Becker Muscular Dystrophy

2025-10-03

Abstract excerpt

Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is an X-linked myopathy characterized by progressive skeletal weakness and frequent cardiac involvement. We report an 18-year-old male with genetically confirmed BMD who presented with decompensated heart failure and syncope. Echocardiography demonstrated severe biventricular dysfunction, while cardiac magnetic resonance revealed non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy with extensive mi...
