Muscular Dystrophy
A pilot study was conducted to assess the safety and efficacy of tranilast in muscular dystrophy patients with cardiomyopathy.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy
Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy: humeroperoneal muscular atrophy and weakness, neck and elbow contractures with sinus bradycardia, first-degree atrioventricular block, and dilated cardiomyopathy[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is a neuromuscular disorder resulting in progressive muscle weakness, contractures, and cardiomyopathy.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
METHODS: Forty-one patients with EDMD-related myopathy were enrolled.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
She was treated for peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi), beta-blockers and diuretics with normalisation of her cardiac function[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Surgical Treatment Progressive contractures may be improved with tendon lengthening but recurrence rates may be high.[posna.org]
It is associated with a wide variety of myopathic disorders that affect paraspinal muscles, including inflammatory and inherited myopathies.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy
This is the first report showing the electron microscopic findings of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) accompanied with limb girdle muscular dystrophy.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
There is variable rate of progression. May develop myalgia, myoglobinuria, contractures, muscle hypertrophy.[patient.info]
For this reason our finding extends the histological spectrum of myopathies due to ANO5 mutations as well as the possible differential diagnoses for necrotizing myopathy.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy Type 2C
Symptoms may additionally include: enlargement (hypertrophy) of the calf muscle and tongue, diseases of the heart muscle ( cardiomyopathy ), and respiratory abnormalities.[rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
Patients may also experience cardiomyopathy and lung disease, and may develop scoliosis and joint contractures as the disease progresses.[sema4genomics.com]

Becker Muscular Dystrophy
Patients with Becker muscular dystrophy-related cardiomyopathy typically survive into their 30s, when they succumb to complications of cardiomyopathy or receive heart transplants[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Progressive scoliosis and contracture formation may require surgical intervention.[emedicine.com]
In a boy with myopathy and an increase of muscle fibres with central nuclei we detected a heterozygous 387G-- T nucleotide transversion in the MYF6 gene (MIM*159991).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
