Atrial fibrillation ablation in LMNA disease

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: LMNA cardiomyopathy is well characterized by progressive conduction disease, ventricular arrhythmias and dilated cardiomyopathy. Although atrial arrhythmias are increasingly recognized, the extent of atrial structural remodeling and fibrosis remains incompletely characterized. We report a patient who presented with atrial fibrillation, bradycardia and left ventricular dysfunction, in whom electroanatomical mapping (EAM) demonstrated extensive biatrial low-voltage substrate before the diagnosis of genetically confirmed LMNA cardiomyopathy was established .
