Theperimysiumsurroundsacollectionofmusclefibers,groupingthemintobundles;theendomysium surroundseachfiberandliesdeeperwithinthemuscle.

Thedifferingpathologiesofpolymyositisanddermatomyositisonmusclebiopsy.
Treatment.Initialtherapywithcorticosteroidsisusuallyeffective.Otherimmunosuppressivedrugsare usedwhenthediseaseisresistanttosteroidtherapy.The10-yearsurvivalrateisnowover80%with currenttherapeuticregimens.
InclusionBodyMyositis.Inclusionbodymyositispresentswithbothproximalanddistalmuscle weakness.Thedistalweaknesscanbeasymmetricandmaybedetectedonexaminationbyfindingsubtle
weaknessinthepatient’sgriporinthefingerflexors.Thisisaninsidiousdiseasethatprogressesslowly. Thediagnosisisgenerallymademanyyearsaftertheinitialcomplaintofweakness.
https://t.me/med1917
Typicalfindingsonmusclebiopsyinpatientswithinclusionbodymyositis,includingendomysial inflammation,vacuolatedfibers,andmitochondrialabnormalities.
Thereareseveralwaysinwhichinclusionbodymyositisdiffersfrompolymyositisand dermatomyositis:
It is more commoninmen, and the averageageofonsetisolder (60 years, ascompared with 45 years). Itaffectsbothproximalanddistalmuscles(nearly95%ofpatientswillhavesomedegreeofdistal fingerflexorweaknessonexamination). The CKmayor may not be elevated, but almostneverashighasthe levels that canbeseenwith polymyositis. Inflammatorymarkers,ESRandCRP,arenotelevated. Muscle biopsyis distinct, revealing endomysial inflammation, rimmed bubble-likevacuoles, and, underelectronmicroscopy,inclusionbodies.
Drugtherapyhasnotbeensuccessful;thediseasedoesnotrespondtosteroids.Patientsslowlybecome disabledoveracourseofmanyyears.
Immune-MediatedNecrotizingMyopathy.Thisistheleastcommonoftheinflammatorymyopathies.It canoccuraseitheraparaneoplasticdisorderorinassociationwithcertaindrugs—mostoften,statins.
Immune-mediatednecrotizingmyopathy(IMNM)canbeassociatedwithanti-SRPantibodiesor,when statin-associated,anti-HMGCRantibodies.Histologyshowsonlyscatterednecroticmusclefibers withoutthesignificantperimysialorendomysialinflammationseenwiththeotherinflammatory myopathies.Whenstatinassociated,symptomsdonotimprovewithdiscontinuationofthestatin(see discussionbelow).Despitethelackofasignificantinflammatoryinfiltrateonmusclebiopsy,IMNMoften respondstoimmunosuppressivetherapies.
https://t.me/med1917
NoninflammatoryMyopathies
Drug-InducedMyopathies.Numerousdrugscanbedirectlytoxictothemuscles.Amongthemare alcohol,glucocorticoids,interferons,amiodarone,antimalarialdrugs,andanti-HIVagents.Others,such asdiuretics,cancauseweaknessbycausinghypokalemia.
Oneofthemostcommondrug-inducedmyopathiesisthatproducedbytheHMG-CoAreductase inhibitors(akathestatins)thatareusedtotreathyperlipidemia.
StatinMyopathy.Statinsareamongthemostcommonlyprescribeddrugs,soitisimportanttounderstand theirpotentialsideeffects.Thereareseveralwaysinwhichthesedrugscancausemyopathy.Wecan organizetheseintofourdistinctclinicalscenarios:
1.  Mild myalgias. This mildformof statin-induced muscle toxicity occurs in 10% to 20% of patients on statin therapy. Patients will describemuscleachesandsoreness,buttherewillbenoobjectiveweaknessonexamination.CKcanbenormalormildlyelevated.It’s not always necessary tostopthe statin, buttemporarydiscontinuation, especially inthe setting of moderate tosevere pain, is often helpful.Manypatientscanthenrestartthesamedrugoradifferentstatinwithoutrecurrenceoftheirmyalgias.
2. Toxin-relatedmyopathy.Thisisthestatin-inducednoninflammatorymyopathy thattrulybelongsinthissectionofthebook.Patients complain ofmild pain that’s associated with proximal muscle weak ness,distinguishing it from the more common clinicalscenario above.TheCKiselevated.Patientscanalmostalwaysbesuccessfullymanagedbystoppingthedrugand eitherswitchingtoanother statinorcontinuingthesameoneatalowerdoseorgivenlessfrequently(e.g.,twiceaweekinsteadofdaily).Improvementisusually seenwithinafewweeksofstoppingtheinitialstatin.
3.  Immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy.Rarely, statins cancause a type ofinflammatory myopathy,as mentionedin the section above,thoughttobemediatedbyantibodiesagainstHMG-CoAreductase.Clinically,thiscanappearindistinguishablefromtoxin-related myopathy,butunliketoxin-relatedmyopathy,symptomsdonotimprovewhenthestatinisstopped.Immunosuppressivetherapyisoften necessary.
4.  Rhabdomyolysis. Those very rare patients who develop signs of possible rhabdomyolysis (see Box 12.11 page 326) with severe musclesymptoms,darkurine,andaserumCKmorethan10timesnormalmuststoptheirstatinimmediately;treatmenttopreventrenal damagemustbeundertakenatonce.
Statinshavemanydrug–druginteractions,andsomeofthesemayinhibitstatinmetabolismandincrease statinlevelsintheblood,therebyincreasingtheriskoftoxicity.Thedrugsmostoftenimplicatedarethe macrolideantibiotics,primarilybecausetheyaresowidelyprescribed,andgemfibrozil,whichisusedto lowertriglyceridesandthereforeisfrequentlycombinedwithstatinsinpatientswithhyperlipidemia.The riskofmyopathyisgreaterwithlipophilicstatins(e.g.,simvastatin)thanwithhydrophilicstatins(e.g., rosuvastatin).
RoutinemonitoringofCKisnotrecommendedforpatientsonastatin,butifyouhappentodiscoveran elevatedCKinapatientwhoisasymptomatic,thedrugdoesnothavetobestoppedaslongastheCKis lessthan10timesnormal.
SteroidMyopathy.Corticosteroidsareanothercommoncauseofdrug-relatedmyopathy.Steroid myopathytypicallydevelopsgradually,anywherefromseveralweekstoseveralmonthsaftersteroid therapyisbegun.Thehigherthedoseofsteroids,thegreatertherisk.
Patientsreportprogressiveproximalmuscleweaknesswithoutmyalgiasortenderness.Thediagnosis islargelyoneofexclusion:muscleenzymesarenormal,EMGisnormal(or,lesscommonly,canshow low-amplitudemotorunitpotentials),andmusclebiopsyshowsnonspecifictypeIIfiberatrophy.Patients canimprovewithin3to4weeksofdiscontinuingthesteroid,butsome,dependingonthedegreeof weakness,maytakesignificantlylonger.Physicaltherapyisoftenhelpful.
https://t.me/med1917
EndocrineMyopathies.Manyendocrinedisorderscancausemyopathy,butmostofthetimeyouwill alreadyknowthatthepatienthasanendocrinopathy,sodeterminingthecauseofthepatient’sweakness shouldnotbeachallenge.Examplesinclude:
Hypo-andhyperthyroidism Hypo-andhypercortisolism(thelatteroftenfromexogenoussteroids) Hyperparathyroidism Acromegaly(excessgrowthhormoneintheadult)
Exceptforhypothyroidism,theCKisusuallynormal,andEMGmayeitherbenormalorshow myopathicchanges.Thekeytodiagnosis,ifyoudon’talreadyknowthatthepatienthasanendocrine disorder,istorecognizeothersymptomssuggestiveofanendocrinopathyandordertheappropriate hormonaltests.Treatmentinvolvestreatingtheunderlyingendocrinedisorder.
MyopathiesCausedbyViralandBacterialIllness.Manyviral(includinginfluenza,HIV,andSARS­CoV-2)andbacterial(Lymedisease)infectionscancausemyopathy,withsymptomsrangingfrombenign myalgiastomuscletenderness,weakness,and,rarely,rhabdomyolysis.Inmostcases,thehistoryofa precedinginfectionisenoughtomakethediagnosis.ACKandurinalysisshouldbecheckedtoruleout rhabdomyolysisinseverecases.Musclebiopsyisrarelynecessarybutissometimesdonetoexclude othercausesofmyopathy,includinginflammatoryandgeneticdiseases.Almostallcasesareself-limited.
InheritedMyopathies.Thesediseasescanbedividedintothemusculardystrophiesandmetabolic myopathies.Themusculardystrophiesareagroupofhereditarydisorderscharacterizedbyprogressive weaknessandwastingofmuscles.Themetabolicmyopathiesresultfromgeneticdefectsinmuscleenergy metabolism.
MuscularDystrophies
DuchenneMuscularDystrophy(DMD).Duchennemusculardystrophyisthemostcommonmuscular dystrophythatcausessignificantdisabilityandearlydeath.ItistheresultofanX-linkedrecessivegene mutationthatcodesfordystrophin,aproteinthatiscriticalformaintainingtheintegrityofthecytoskeleton ofmusclefibers.ChorionicvillussamplingcandetectDMDby12weeks’gestation.Thediseasecanbe familialortheresultofasporadicmutation.
Presentation.Patientspresentinchildhood(usuallybetween2and3yearsold)withdelayedmotor milestonesandmildhypotonia.Parentsmaynotethattheirchildisunabletokeepupwithhispeerswith runningandjumping.Byage5years,mostpatientswillhaveclear-cutproximalweakness,andthe musclesofthecalves,shoulders,andbuttocksmayappearenlargedasmuscletissueisgraduallyreplaced byconnectiveandfattytissue,aprocesstermedpseudohypertrophy.Bytheonsetoftheirteenageyears, patientswillhavedifficultywalkingwithoutassistance.Thediseaseisaccompaniedbycognitivedeficits andlearningdifficulties.Dilatedcardiomyopathyoftenappearsintheteenageyearsandcancause arrhythmias,congestiveheartfailure,anddeath.

Diagnosis.Byage5years,astheproximalweaknessbecomesunmistakable,aCKshouldbechecked.If itiselevated,thepatientshouldundergoDNAanalysisormusclebiopsy(whichwillrevealabsentor abnormaldystrophin).BecauseDMDisX-linked,itoccursmostlyinmales,althoughfemalecarriersof themutationmayshowsomeweaknessandareatriskofdevelopingcardiomyopathy.
Treatment.Musclestrengthandfunctionaswellasmobilitycanbeimprovedwithdailyglucocorticoid therapy.Thereisalsoevidencethatcreatinesupplementationcanimprovemusclestrength.Angiotensin convertingenzymeinhibitorsarecardioprotectiveandimproveall-causemortality.Aneweragent, eteplirsen,isspecificallydesignedtotargettheinvolvedexontoallowproductionofatruncatedformof dystrophinandcanimprovemusclestrength.
Prognosis.DMDisrelentlesslyprogressive.Withcurrenttherapies,mostpatientstodaywillsurvive theirteenageyears.Almosthalfofpatientswillsurvivetoage25years,andsome,withassistive ventilation,canliveintotheirthirties.

Box12.10BeckerMuscularDystrophy
BeckermusculardystrophyissimilartoDuchennemusculardystrophy,buttheskeletal
muscularinvolvementtendstobemilder(thedystrophinmutationisincomplete,resultingin someremainingfunctionalprotein),theonsetofthediseaseislater,andcognitivedifficulties aresignificantlylesscommon.Mostpatientsremainambulatorywellintoadulthood. Cardiomyopathy,however,isevidentinmostpatientsusuallybytheteenageyears,leading tohigh-gradeconductionblocksandcongestiveheartfailure.
Therearemanyothermusculardystrophies,toomanytocoverinthistext.Here,though,aretwoyou shouldbefamiliarwith.
Fascioscapulohumeraldystrophy(FSHD).Isanautosomaldominantdisease.Itprogressesmoreslowly thanDMD,withsignificantsymptomsfirstappearinginadolescence.Characteristicsignsincludefacial weakness,scapularwinging,andabnormalitiesoftheshouldergirdle.Weaknessofthelowerabdominal musclescanresultinapositiveBeevorsign(notuniquetoFSHD,butoftenassociatedwithit),inwhich thereisupwardmovementoftheumbilicusuponneckflexionwhileinasupineposition.
(A)Scapularwingingand(B)BeevorsigninpatientswithFSHD.
Myotonicdystrophy.Comesintwomajortypes,DM1andthelesssevereDM2.Bothareautosomal dominant.Theformeristheresultofanexpandedcytosine-thymine-guanine(CTG)repeatinthemyotonic dystrophyproteinkinasegene,thelatterofanexpandedCCTGrepeatinazincfingerprotein.
Bothtypesofmyotonicdystrophyarecharacterizedbyprogressiveskeletalmuscleweaknessand myotonia,atermthatreferstoimpairedrelaxationofthemusclesfollowingcontraction.Onewaytotest thisistohavepatientsgripyourfingerandthentrytoreleasetheirgrip;therelaxationphasewillbe noticeablydelayed.AnEMGwillshowabnormal,spontaneousmyotonicdischarges(classically describedassoundinglikea“divebomber”)thatoccuratrestandafterrelaxationbegins.Other associatedfeaturesincludecataracts,cardiomyopathy,frontalbaldnessandvariousendocrinedisorders. EMGandDNAanalysiswillconfirmthediagnosis.
TohelpyoudistinguishbetweenDM1andDM2:
https://t.me/med1917
DM1 is the more severe form. Weakness is typically distal rather than proximal and characteristicallyaffects thefacial muscles, intrinsic hand muscles, and footdorsiflexors, causing footdrop.Ptosis,impairedextraocularmovements,dysphagia,anddysarthriaarecommon. DM2 predominantly causes proximal weakness. Pain is more common, but cardiomyopathy and endocrineabnormalitiesarerare.
LifeexpectancycanbereducedforpatientswithsevereformsofDM1,butbothformscanbe compatiblewithlonglife.
MetabolicMyopathies
Theseraredisordersresultfromdefectsinenergymetabolism.If,foramoment,wecanaskyoutoreach backtoyourhalcyondaysinbiochemistryclass,youwillrecallthatATP,theprimarysourceofcellular energy,isgeneratedbythebreakdownofglycogen,glucose,andfreefattyacids.Whenaninherited mutationcompromisesoneoftheenzymesthatiscriticalforoneofthesepathways,theresultingenergy deficitcanleadtosignificantweakness.Somepatientsfirstpresentininfancy,someinadulthood.
Thinkofthesedisorderswhenyouhaveapatientwithunexplainedexerciseintolerance.Thereare threemaincategoriesofmetabolicmyopathytobefamiliarwith(manyofthesearediscussedfurtherin Chapter17).
1.  Disorders of glycogen metabolism. These are autosomal recessive disorders caused by impaired glycogen breakdown. The key featureisexerciseintolerance;bothisometricexerciseandsustainedaerobicactivitiesbringonfatigue,cramps,andmyalgias.TheCK is elevated evenat rest. Diagnosisrelies upon clinicalpresentation,familyhistory,laboratory abnormalities and, increasingly, genetic testing.Treatmentvaries,butoftencentersondietmodificationandenzymereplacementtherapy.
2.  Disorders of lipid metabolism. The most common of these are the result of various defects in the carnitine cycle, resulting in abnormalfattyacid oxidation.Themostcommoniscarnitine palmitoyltransferaseII deficiency.Theinfantile formisrapidly fatal, whereas the adult-onset form is less severe and presents with exercise intolerance and episodes of rhabdomyolysis. A high carbohydratedietcanpreventsymptomaticattacks.
3.  Mitochondrial myopathies. These disorders are due to mutations in mitochondrial DNA and can present with a wide range of symptoms.Themyopathycanbeisolatedorcanbejustonecomponentofanillnessthatimpactsmultipleorgansystems.Themyopathy itself can range from mild exercise intolerance presenting in adulthood tofatal infantile forms. Resting levels of lactate are almost alwayselevatedandkeytomakingthediagnosis.
Box12.11Rhabdomyolysis
Theacutebreakdownofmusclecellswiththeresultantreleaseoftheirintracellularcontents intothecirculationistermedrhabdomyolysis.CKlevelscangoskyhigh,andmyoglobinuriais present.Thereleaseofintracellularmusclecontentscanleadtosevereelectrolyte imbalancesandacuterenalfailure.Potentialtriggersarenumerousandinclude:
Manyofthedisorderswe’vediscussedinthischapter,includingbothinflammatory(rare) and noninflammatory (most common with the metabolic) myopathies; always consider statin-inducedrhabdomyolysisinanyonetakingoneofthesedrugs. Acutetrauma,suchascrushinjuriesandlightningstrikes Prolongedimmobilization Compartmentsyndrome Extremephysicalexertion(runningamarathoninhot,humidweather)
https://t.me/med1917
Especiallycommoninuntrainedorundertrainedindividuals,butanyonecangetheatstrokewithrhabdomyolysis ifthestressisgreatenough
Neardrowning,probablyfromprolongedhypothermia Prolongedgeneralizedtonic-clonicseizures Deliriumtremens Overdosingondrugs,includingamphetaminesandcocaine Malignanthyperthermia Neurolepticmalignantsyndrome Hypokalemia Hypophosphatemia
Rhabdomyolosiscanoccurfromextremeexertion.
Inpatientswithtrauma,thenatureofthetraumawilldominatetheclinicalpicture,butinmost
https://t.me/med1917
othersettingsthechiefcomplaintwillbemyalgias,andpatientsmaydescribepassingbright redurine.Muscleswillbetenderonexamination.
Laboratorytestingwillrevealelevatedmuscleenzymesandmyoglobinuria.TheCKtakes severalhoursbeforeitwillbeseentorise,peakingin1to3daysandthendecliningoverthe nextfewdays.Myoglobinhasahalf-lifeofonly2to3hours,soitmaynotbepresentbythe timeyouseethepatient.Justareminder—myoglobinwillbereadasbloodonaurine dipstick,butmicroscopywillrevealanabsenceofredbloodcells.Electrolytesshouldbe checked—inparticular,anticipatethepossibilityofhyperkalemia,whichcancauseserious cardiacarrhythmias.Themostfearedcomplicationofrhabdomyolosisisacuterenalfailure. Renalinjuryinrhabdomyolysiscanhavemanycauses,includingmyoglobinitself,whichis toxictothekidneys.
Intensivefluidreplacementisessentialtosuccessfulmanagement.Electrolytedisturbances shouldbemonitoredandtreatedifneeded.
CriticalIllnessMyopathy.Wecan’tleavethesubjectofmyopathywithoutbrieflydiscussingacommon sourceofweaknessseeninpatientswhoarecriticallyill.Theword“common”isactuallyan understatement:ithasbeenestimatedthatasmanyas11%ofpatientsdevelopsomedegreeofcritical illnessmyopathy(CIM)within1dayofbeingadmittedtoanintensivecareunit,anumberthatrisesto 67%forpatientswhoareonmechanicalventilationforatleast10days.
CIMtypicallypresentsasflaccidpredominantlyproximalmuscleweaknessofthelimbsand respiratorymuscles;thelattercanmakeitdifficulttoweanpatientsoffofmechanicalventilation.Critical illnesspolyneuropathy(CIP)canalsodevelop,characterizedbyadistal,symmetricstocking-glove sensory-motorpolyneuropathywithdiminisheddeeptendonreflexes.Somepatientsdevelopa combinationofthetwo.
Thepathogenesisisnotknown,buthypothesesabound,includinginflammation,immobilization, nutritionaldeficiencies,andthetoxiceffectsofmedicationsusedintheintensivecareunit(particularly corticosteroidsandneuromuscularblockingagents).Generally,thesickerthepatient(e.g.,thosewith sepsisormultiorganfailure),thegreatertheriskofdevelopingCIMorCIP.
