The role of detailed medical history for the early diagnosis of familial bradycardia in a patient with associated atrial fibrillation – case report

Bradycardia represents a frequent reason for medical presentation and has a complex aetiology, including genetic disorders, like LMNA mutation. LMNA mutation is responsible for laminopathies, including LMNA -cardiomyopathy. Cardiac involvement is prevalent and is linked to dilated cardiomyopathy associated with conduction block, which is anticipated by bradyarrhythmia and supraventricular tachyarrhythmia. LMNA mutation carriers have higher risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD), malignant ventricular tachycardia, and extreme bradycardia.
