Autosomal Recessive Atrial Dilated Cardiomyopathy With Standstill Evolution Associated With Mutation of <i>Natriuretic Peptide Precursor A</i>

Abstract

Autosomal recessive atrial dilated cardiomyopathy is a rare disease associated with homozygous mutation of the Natriuretic Peptide Precursor A gene and characterized by extreme atrial dilatation with standstill evolution, thromboembolic risk, preserved left ventricular function, and severely decreased levels of atrial natriuretic peptide.
