Affected muscle
Group of muscle diseases that results in increasing weakening and breakdown
of skeletal muscles over time. The muscular dystrophy group contains thirty
different genetic disorders that are usually classified into nine main categories
or types. The most common type is Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD),
which typically affects males beginning around the age of four. Other types
include Becker muscular dystrophy, facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy,
and myotonic dystrophy.They are due to mutations in genes that are involved
Normal muscle in making muscle proteins. This can occur due to either inheriting the defect
from one's parents or the mutation occurring during early
development.Disorders may be X-linked recessive, autosomal recessive, or
autosomal dominant.
TYPES OF MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY
• Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD)
• Becker muscular dystrophy
• Myotonic muscular dystrophy
• Congenital muscular dystrophy• Limb-Girdle muscular dystrophy
• Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy
• Distal muscular dystrophy
• Oculopharyngeal muscular
• Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy.
TYPES OF CARDIOMYOPATHY
- Dilated
- Hypetrophic
- Restrictive cardiomyopathy
THE CAUSES OF CARDIOMYOPATHY • Long-term high blood pressure
• Heart tissue damage from a heart attack
• Chronic rapid heart rate
• Heart valve problems
• Metabolic disorders, such as obesity, thyroid disease or
diabetes
• Nutritional deficiencies of essential vitamins or minerals,
such as thiamin (vitamin B-1)
• Pregnancy complications
• Drinking too much alcohol over many years
• Use of cocaine, amphetamines or anabolic steroids
• Use of some chemotherapy drugs and radiation to treat
cancer
• Certain infections, especially those that inflame the heart
• Iron buildup in your heart muscle (hemochromatosis)
• A condition that causes inflammation and can cause lumps
of cells to grow in the heart and other organs (sarcoidosis)
• A disorder that causes the buildup of abnormal proteins
(amyloidosis)
• Connective tissue disorders
