Abstract
Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) syndrome is the most common monogenic inherited cause of stroke. A female patient aged > 50 years with genetically proven CADASIL syndrome and an extensive stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA) history experienced a bradycardic episode following hospitalization for new strokelike symptoms. The literature of cardiac involvement in CADASIL syndrome is limited, with no definitive recommendations for surveillance and screening. This case report postulates that cardiac surveillance and screening may be indicated for patients with CADASIL syndrome.
