N2 - Neuromuscular disorders comprise a large group of diseases caused by dysfunction of motor neurons, peripheral nerves and skeletal muscles. A fair proportion of neuromuscular disorders have a genetic cause. The incidence and prevalence of cardiomyopathies associated with inherited neuromuscular diseases, particularly with muscular dystrophies, have long been underestimated, even though cardiac involvement, presenting as cardiac conduction abnormalities, cardiomyopathy with heart failure and sudden cardiac death, is either the direct or indirect cause of death in many of these diseases.
