[Cardiomyopathy in female carriers of the Duchenne gene].
The present report describes a family with X-linked recessive muscular dystrophy. In two female carriers a myocardial involvement could be demonstrated, which dominated the clinical picture in one patient. Obviously a congestive cardiomyopathy may develop in female carriers of X-linked recessive muscular dystrophy of the Duchenne-type.
