Becker muscular dystrophy is associated with abnormal cardiac features in about 75% of cases; up to one-third will develop ventricular dilatation leading to congestive cardiac failure. As this form of muscular dystrophy is relatively benign, failure to respond to medical treatment warrants assessment for cardiac transplantation.
贝克尔肌营养不良症约75%的病例伴有心脏异常特征;高达三分之一的患者会出现心室扩张,进而导致充血性心力衰竭。由于这种形式的肌营养不良症相对良性,对药物治疗无反应时值得评估是否适合心脏移植。
