title: [Particular aspects of cardiomyopathy in Landouzy-Déjérine's progressive muscular dystrophy. Study of a family (author's transl)].
abstract: In the study of a family affected by progressive muscular dystrophy (DMP) of facio-scapulo-humeral type (f.s.o.) the myocardial involvement has been found to be constant and of moderate degree. The myocardial component has been found to appear in the adult age with initial and prevalent atrial involvement. In one case the myocardiopathy was not associated with appreciable clinical signs of skeletric myopathy. Possible causes of the pecuationship between the DPM type f.s.o. associated myocardiopathies and familial idiopathic cardiomyopathies are outlined.
