Highlights the potential genetic link between congestive cardiomyopathy and Becker's X-linked muscular dystrophy within a single family.

May support cardiac screening in Becker families; leaves open shared genetic basis pending molecular studies.
Ths dissociation of gross congestive cardiomyopathy and muscle disease in different members of a family affected with Becker's benign X-linked muscular dystrophy is described. The possibility that cardiomyopathy and muscular dystrophy may be the expressions of the same mutant gene has been suggested.
