Cardiac dysfunction with Becker muscular dystrophy
American Heart Journal, 1996Cardiac function was examined in 21 patients with Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) and compared with 43 patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and 37 healthy control subjects. Electrocardiography showed myocardial damage was most frequently found in the lateral wall, compatible with autopsy findings.

Prednisone Therapy in Becker's Muscular Dystrophy
Journal of Child Neurology, 2001Two boys with Becker's muscular dystrophy had a dramatic and sustained improvement in strength with therapeutic use of prednisone. Both had documented Xp-21 defects on DNA testing. Concurrently with improvement, there was a decrease in their serum creatine kinase levels.

Electroretinogram in Duchenne/Becker Muscular Dystrophy
Pediatric Neurology, 1998The authors studied all cases with dystrophinopathy consecutively reviewed between May 1995 and December 1996 by means of electroretinography (ERG), which was recorded using skin eyelid electrodes and with standard flash stimulation. This methodology can detect the functional abnormalities associated with dystrophinopathies. The most valuable parameter

Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophies
Neurologic Clinics, 2014The dystrophinopathies Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies (DMD and BMD) represent the most common inherited disorders of muscle. Improvements in cardiac care, attention to respiratory function, and judicious use of spinal correction surgery have led to increased survival in the DMD population.

Muscle MRI in Becker muscular dystrophy
Neuromuscular Disorders, 2012The aim of this study was to evaluate pelvis and lower limb muscle MRI scans of 46 patients affected by Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD), subdivided according to disease severity, ranging from clinically asymptomatic patients to patients who had lost ambulation.

Cardiac transplantation in Becker muscular dystrophy
Neuromuscular Disorders, 1992Becker 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.

2014
After the historical description by Becker and Kiener in 1955 in affected families, the discovery of the dystrophin gene led to a drastic reconsideration of clinical phenotypes associated with deletion or duplication of the dystrophin gene (Table 3.1), and several different clinical entities were described with associated different prognosis according ...

Prenatal diagnosis in Becker muscular dystrophy
Clinical Genetics, 1987Prenatal diagnosis in a pregnancy at risk for Becker muscular dystrophy is reported. The diagnosis was made prior to 12 weeks of gestation by typing a CVS sample for DNA markers.

Histopathological Findings in Becker-Type Muscular Dystrophy
Archives of Neurology, 1984Muscle biopsy specimens from 14 patients with Becker-type muscular dystrophy were analyzed to investigate possible neurogenic factors underlying the histopathological changes. Group atrophy, pyknotic nuclear clumps, and angular small fibers were seen respectively in 71%, 85%, and 100% of the cases.
