A 39 yo female patient was admitted for symptomatic complete atrioventricular Block. A family history and screening showed 5 cases of sudden death, and 4 cases of complete atrioventricular block, treated with Pacemaker implantation. Genetic screening showed a new variant in TRPM4 gene: c.512 G >A; p. Arg171Gln.
