Background: Atrial standstill is characterized by the absence of atrial activity. We report a case of a patient with extensive atrial fibrosis who underwent electrophysiologic study (EPS) and electroanatomical mapping (EAM) to identify surviving atrial sites amenable for pacemaker lead implantation.
Case Summary: A 72-year-old man with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial functional mitral regurgitation/tricuspid regurgitation (MR/TR) underwent a Cox-Maze surgery, mitral and tricuspid valve repair, and biatrial plication.
We present a case of HCN4 gene mutation presenting with atrial standstill and stroke in the young.

We report a case of atrial functional tricuspid regurgitation with an atrial standstill in a 71-year-old woman with a history of chronic atrial fibrillation (AF). The ECG showed a flat baseline with no AF waves and regular, narrow QRS complexes, whereas the previous ECG demonstrated AF. Echocardiography revealed dilation of the right atrium and the tricuspid annulus with severe regurgitation, but mitral regurgitation was mild.
