In 2001, genetic testing failed to detect the abnormality in this family. Three generations were followed clinically for 35 years with the diagnosis only made when a member underwent heart transplant and was found to have a class 1 variant: LMNA Arg321X, later confirmed in other family members.

Abstract Background Cardioneuroablation (CNA) is a novel therapeutic approach for functional bradyarrhythmias, specifically neurocardiogenic syncope or atrial fibrillation, achieved through endocardial radiofrequency catheter ablation of vagal innervation, obviating the need for pacemaker implantation. Originating in the nineties, the first series of CNA procedures was published in 2005.
