- Title
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance of cardiomyopathy in limb girdle muscular dystrophy 2B and 2I.
- Abstract
The article presents a study focusing on cardiovascular magnetic resonance of cardiomyopathy in limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) 2B and 2I. The study shows that LGMD2I and LGMD2B results in mild structural and functional cardiac abnormalities, though severe dilated cardiomyopathy (CMR) may occur. It states that long-term studies are warranted to evaluate the prognostic significance of subclinical fibrosis detected by CMR in these patients.
