Background: The reported prevalence of left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) varies widely and its prognostic impact remains controversial. We sought to clarify the prevalence and prognostic impact of LVNC in patients with Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD).Methods: We evaluated the presence of LNVC in patients with DMD/BMD aged 4-64 years old at the study entry (from July 2007 to December 2008) and prospectively followed-up their subsequent courses (n=186). The study endpoint was all-cause death and the presence of LVNC was blinded until the end of the study (median follow-up: 46 months; interquartile range: 41-48 months).Results: There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics between patients with LVNC (n=35) and control patients without LVNC (n=151), with the exception of LV function. Patients with LVNC showed, in comparison with patients without LVNC, a significant negative correlation between age and LVEF (R=-0.7 vs. R=-0.4) at baseline; and showed a significantly greater decrease in absolute LVEF (-8.6 +/- 4.6 vs. -4.3 +/- 4.5, p
