Abstract excerpt
Atrial fibrillation (AF) often complicates the course of inherited cardiomyopathies and, in some cases, may be the presenting feature. Each inherited cardiomyopathy has its own peculiar pathogenetic characteristics that can contribute to the development and maintenance of AF. Atrial fibrillation may occur as a consequence of disease-specific defects, non-specific cardiac chamber changes secondary to the primary...
