What is the prognosis of myopathy?

Cardiologist
Piedmont Heart Institute

The prognosis for individuals with myopathy varies. Some individuals have a normal life span and little or no disability. For others, however, the disorder may be progressive, severely disabling, life threatening, or fatal.

This answer from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke has been reviewed and/or edited by Dr. William D. Knopf.
