HeartWare LVAD Implantation in a Patient with a Rare ARVD: Carvajal Syndrome
Carvajal syndrome is a variant of Naxos disease characterized by a predominant left ventricular involvement, wooly or curly hair, and palmoplantar keratoderma or similar skin disorders. We describe the clinical and therapeutic course of a 14-year old boy affected by this syndrome, in whom a progressive biventricular failure developed at 13 years of age.
