Figure 1

A 28-year-old, wheelchair bound, female patient with Friedreich’s ataxia presents with an irregular heartbeat. She has no history of syncope or dizziness and no other complaints. Physical examination of the heart reveals no abnormalities. There are neither signs of left nor right heart failure. Her pulse is in principle regular, but occasionally some irregularities are observed. The ECG is depicted in figure 1. An echo is normal.
