This study is looking at heart problems (cardiomyopathy) in people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD), and carriers of these conditions. Heart problems are a major cause of death in these diseases, but doctors don't fully understand how they develop. This study aims to learn more about how heart dysfunction progresses and to find ways to predict who might be at higher risk for severe heart disease or death using heart MRI images. The goal is to create tools that can help doctors worldwide. You may be able to join if you have DMD, BMD, or are a carrier, confirmed by a muscle biopsy or genetic test. The study will track outcomes like mortality (death) over 10 years.
