Abstract
This is the first report showing an association of familial AF and LQT-3 due to a mutation in SCN5A. This finding provides further evidence of the role of SCN5A in AF. We also confirm the usefulness of flecainide in this particular complex phenotype, both as a diagnostic tool for LQT-3 and as an acute treatment for AF.
