Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with severe neuromuscular disease (sNMD) are considered at high risk of severe COVID-19. Muscle tissue is often replaced by fibroadipose tissue in these diseases whereas the new mRNA-based vaccines are injected intramuscularly. We aimed at evaluating the efficacy of two injections associated with a booster injection of mRNA vaccine in these patients. METHODS We performed an observational, prospective, single-centre study to investigate the level of anti-S antibodies (Abs) and their neutralization activity at weeks 6 (W6) and 24 (W24) after two injections of mRNA-1273 vaccine and at weeks 12 (BW12) and 29 (BW29) after a booster injection of BNT162b2 vaccine in patients with sNMD. RESULTS Thirty-three patients with sNMD were included. At W6, 30 patients (90.1%) showed a protective serum level of specific anti-S Abs with a strong neutralization capacity. We observed a decline over time: only 12 patients (36.3%) retained anti-S Abs levels considered as protective at W24. The neutralization activity remained above the cut off in 23 (69.7%). The booster vaccination restored robust neutralization activity for all analysed 22 patients (100%) at BW12, which was maintained without any significant drop at BW29 (16). No severe adverse event was reported in this cohort and none of the 33 patients developed symptomatic COVID-19 over one year. CONCLUSIONS This study provides evidence that most sNMD patients receiving two injections of COVID-19 mRNA-based vaccines develop a strong humoral response after vaccination. A decline over time was observed but a single booster injection restores a long-term immunity. Moreover, no safety issues were observed.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The latest practice guidelines from the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association recommend the prescription of an ACE-i for patients presenting with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy when left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) falls below 40%.
Objective
To determine if the initiation of treatment with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE-i) earlier than recommended by practice guidelines issued by professional societies improves the long-term cardiac outcomes of patients presenting with Becker muscular dystrophy (MD) cardiomyopathy.
Methods
From a multicenter registry of Becker MD, we selected retrospectively patients presenting between January 1990 and April 2019 with a LVEF ≥40 and ≤49%. We used a propensity score analysis to compare the risk of a) hospitalization for management of heart failure (HF), and b) a decrease in LVEF to <35% in patients who received an ACE-i when LVEF fell below 40% (conventional treatment), versus below 50% (early treatment).
Results
From the 183 patients entered in our registry, we identified 85 whose LVEF was between 40 and 49%, 51 of whom received early and 34 received conventional ACE-i treatment. Among patients with early versus conventional treatments, 2 (3.9%) versus 4 (11.8%) were hospitalized for management of HF [hazard ratio (HR) 0.151; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.028 to 0.822; p=0.029], and 9 (17.6%) versus 10 (29.4%) had a decrease in LVEF below 35% (HR 0.290; 95% CI 0.121 to 0.694; p=0.005).
Conclusions
The long-term cardiac outcome of patients presenting with Becker MD was significantly better when treatment with ACE-i was introduced after a decrease in LVEF below 50%, instead of below 40% as recommended in the current practice guidelines issued by professional societies.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
An accurate estimation of the risk of life-threatening (LT) ventricular tachyarrhythmia (VTA) in patients with LMNA mutations is crucial to select candidates for implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantation.
Methods
We included 839 adult patients with LMNA mutations, including 660 from a French nationwide registry in the development sample, and 179 from other countries, referred to 5 tertiary centers for cardiomyopathies, in the validation sample. LTVTA was defined as a) sudden cardiac death or b) ICD-treated or hemodynamically unstable VTA. The prognostic model was derived using Fine-Gray's regression model. The net reclassification was compared with current clinical practice guidelines. The results are presented as means (standard deviation) or medians [interquartile range].
Results
We included 444 patients 40.6 (14.1) years of age in the derivation sample and 145 patients 38.2 (15.0) years in the validation sample, of whom 86 (19.3%) and 34 (23.4%) suffered LTVTA over 3.6 [1.0–7.2] and 5.1 [2.0–9.3] years of follow-up, respectively. Predictors of LTVTA in the derivation sample were: male sex, non-missense LMNA mutation, 1st degree and higher atrioventricular block, non-sustained ventricular tachycardia, and left ventricular ejection fraction. In the derivation sample, C-index (95% CI) of the model was 0.776 (0.711–0.842). In the external validation sample, the C-index was 0.800 (0.642–0.959) and calibration slope 1.082 (95% CI, 0.643–1.522). A 5-year estimated risk threshold ≥7% predicted 96.2% of LTVTA and net reclassified 28.8% of patients with LTVTA compared with the guidelines-based approach.
Conclusions
Compared to the current standard of care, this risk prediction model for LTVTA in laminopathies facilitated significantly the choice of ICD candidates.
