Abstract

Myotonic dystrophy, a multi-systemic disease with cardiac involvement, is the most common inherited neuromuscular disease. Here, we report the results of radiofrequency catheter ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation in a patient with myotonic dystrophy and achalasia-like esophageal dilatation.
