title: Becker muscular dystrophy presenting with complete heart block in the sixth decade.
abstract: Becker muscular dystrophy may be associated with myocardial abnormalities which are usually diagnosed after the onset of weakness. We present a patient who developed complete heart block 6 years before the onset of muscle weakness which occurred unusually late at the age of 62 years.
