Those with a neuromuscular presentation developed a cardiomyopathy less frequently (43% vs 73%; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.089) and had a lower rate of sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmias (7% vs 23%; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.387). In patients with neuromuscular onset rhythm disturbances occurred usually before evidence of cardiomyopathy. Despite these differences, the need for heart transplantation and median age at intervention were similar in the two groups (29% vs 23% [<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.717] and 43 vs 46\u2009years [<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.593] respectively).<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>In patients with laminopathy, the type of disease onset was a marker for a different natural history.
