TI  - Cardiovascular magnetic resonance reveals similar damage to the heart of patients 
      with Becker and limb-girdle muscular dystrophy but no cardiac symptoms.

AB  - Cardiac involvement in patients with a sarcoglycanopathy (limb-girdle muscular 
      dystrophy) has been described previously; however, this is the first 
      cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) study in such a patient demonstrating an 
      interesting pattern of myocardial damage using late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) 
      imaging. Moreover, the wall motion abnormality and the subepicardial pattern of 
      LGE in this patient with a sarcoglycanopathy is in agreement with the findings in 
      another patient with Becker muscular dystrophy. The predominance of LGE in the 
      subepicardial layers of the left ventricular inferolateral wall suggests that 
      such a myocardial damage pattern represents a nonspecific cardiac phenotype in 
      response to exaggerated mechanical stress in this region, at least in patients 
      with a sarcoglycanopathy or dystrophinopathy.
