Author ProfileAbstract
A 35-year-old male with history of recurrent arrhythmias presented for
pulmonary vein isolation. He underwent pre-procedural screening for
thromboembolism risk with transesophageal echocardiogram. He had an
incidental finding of a rare fenestrated membrane overlying his left
atrial appendage. Additional work-up throughout his clinical course
revealed genetic mutations in the LMNA and SNTA1 genes. There have been
no previous reported genetic mutations reported in cases with LAA
membranes.04 May 2020Submitted to Echocardiography 05 May 2020Submission Checks Completed
