Becker's muscular dystrophy (BMD) is one of the most common muscular dystrophy syndromes. The heart is always affected by myocardial fibrosis with early involvement of the right side. Traditionally, ECG, echocardiography and stress testing have been used to evaluate these patients. Cardiac MRI, offering superior assessment of the right side and visualization of the myocardial fibrosis could become the preferred imaging modality for evaluating patients with BMD.
贝克肌营养不良症（BMD）是最常见的肌营养不良综合征之一。心脏总是会受到心肌纤维化的影响，右侧会较早受累。传统上，心电图、超声心动图和负荷试验一直用于评估这些患者。心脏磁共振成像能够对右侧进行更优评估并可视化心肌纤维化，可能会成为评估BMD患者的首选成像方式。
