摘要
Friedreich's ataxia is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease. We report the case of a 34-year-old man with Friedreich's ataxia and dilated cardiomyopathy who underwent successful cardiac transplantation. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a heart transplantation for Friedreich's ataxia dilated cardiomyopathy.
