| Popis: | We present the case of a 50-year-old man presenting with new heart failure symptoms. He had no evidence of any ischaemic cardiomyopathy, however, further cardiac imaging showed a left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy. He was noted to have muscular weakness and an exhaustive search for associated comorbidities yielded a diagnosis of Becker muscular dystrophy. In this report, we review the pathophysiology, comorbidities and diagnostic workup in patients presenting with left ventricular non-compaction in the context of dystrophinopathy. Ultimately, we suggest the consideration of rare cardiomyopathies in all patients presenting with neuromuscular syndromes and vice versa. |
