Abstract

Muscular dystrophies are genetic muscular disease with disability. Heart failure is a classical complication mainly in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). We report 2 cases of severe acute heart failure revealed by abdominal discomfort in a patient with DMD and in a patient with gamma-sarcoglycanopathy.

Keywords: Acute heart failure; Ascite; Ascites; Duchenne muscular dystrophy; Gamma-sarcoglycanopathie; Gamma-sarcoglycanopathy; Insuffisance cardiaque aiguë; Myopathie de Duchenne.
