Advanced Biventricular Heart Failure Precipitated by Large Territory Stroke in a Patient With Carvajal Syndrome [PDF]

JACC: Case Reports
Stroke-heart syndrome describes the neurocardiogenic mechanisms that lead to the development of poststroke cardiovascular complications. We describe a 25-year-old man with Carvajal syndrome who developed advanced biventricular heart failure 2 months after a large territory ischemic stroke.

Prevent Sudden Death in Carvajal Syndrome With Left Ventricular Hypertrabeculation/Noncompaction. [PDF]

Iran J Pediatr, 2016
Dear Editor, With interest we read the article by Mohammadpour Ahranjani et al. about a nine-year-old girl with heart failure due to systolic dysfunction and left ventricular hypertrabeculation/noncompaction (LVHT) in whom the association with skin abnormalities led to the diagnosis of Caravajal syndrome (CS) (1).

Evidence for genetic heterogeneity in Carvajal syndrome

Cell and Tissue Research, 2012
Carvajal syndrome is a rare syndrome with woolly hair, palmoplantar keratosis and dilated cardiomyopathy. The inheritance of the mutation is autosomal recessive. As a causal gene, the desmoplakin gene (DSP) has so far been identified; it encodes an essential component of desmosomes, a cell-cell structure aimed at keeping cells attached to each other in

Naxos Disease [PDF]

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2005
Since 1995, according to the World Health Organisation’s classification of cardiomyopathies, Naxos disease has been considered as the recessive form of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C).1 It is a stereotype association of

RhoGEF Ect2 supports RhoA activity at cell–cell junctions through desmoplakin [PDF]

Life Science Alliance
We describe a mechanism by which the desmosome component, desmoplakin, can recruit and control the activity of the contractile signaling regulator RhoA at cardiomyocyte and keratinocyte intercellular junctions, with implications for cardiocutaneous ...
