Aim: To assess the degree and progression of cardiac involvement in patients with limb-girdle type 2 (LGMD2) and Becker muscular dystrophies (BMD).Methods: A follow-up study of 100 LGMD2 (types A-L) and 30 BMD patients assessed by electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiography, supplemented by Holter-monitoring at follow-up.Results: After a median of 8.9 years (range 0.4-13.7), twelve patients had died: LGMD2 (n=10, mean age 61 +/- 11 years), BMD (n =2, age 43 and 45 years). Of the remaining 118 patients, 89 completed follow-up: LGMD2 (n=64, age 48 +/- 13 years) and BMD (n=25, age 40 +/- 13 years).In BMD, LVEF decreased from 60% (10-62) to 50% (10-64), p=0.02 corresponding to a one percentage drop annually. Among patients with LGMD2, LVEF decreased significantly in patients with LGMD type 2I (n=28) from 59% (15-72) to 55% (20-61), p=0.03, i.e. a 0.4 percentage drop annually, and LVEF
