Given the strong genetic component of this myopathy, one could postulate as to a possible genetic component in the development of atrial fibrillation in our patient. Although we cannot make definite correlation between deglutition-induced atrial fibrillation and Laing myopathy, it is important to report this unusual association which has not been described before.
