[Atrial mechanical and electrical dysfunction in patient with Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy reason of change in electrotherapeutical approach: frequent result of rare disease].

We present a case of a 35 year-old male patient with Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy diagnosed in the age of 12 who was assigned to dual chamber pacing system due to bradycardia primarily recognised as sinus node insufficiency with the atrio-ventricular nodal rhythm. During the procedure permanent electrical atrial stand-still without atrial capture were detected and the mode of stimulation was change to VVIR.
