Management of Cardiac Involvement in Becker Muscular Dystrophy: A Case Report.

Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is an X-linked recessive neuromuscular disorder caused by a mutation in the dystrophin gene. Cardiac involvement is a frequent finding in BMD, and manifestations may vary from asymptomatic cardiac involvement to developing symptoms of heart failure and severe cardiomyopathy. We presented the case of a 32-year-old wheelchair-dependent BMD patient who came to our cardiology clinic with a two-month history of heart palpitations, rest and nocturnal dyspnea, fatigue, and generalized muscular weakness.
