摘要
Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) is characterized by contractions of multiple joints present at birth. AMC is rarely associated with cardiomyopathy. We present a case of a young man with dilated cardiomyopathy associated with AMC admitted with rapidly deteriorating severe heart failure who was offered left ventricular assist device as a bridge to transplant.
