Heart-hand syndrome, Slovenian type is a rare autosomal dominant form of heart-hand syndrome, first described in members of a Slovenian family, that is characterised by adult onset, progressive cardiac conduction disease, tachyarrhythmias that can lead to sudden death, dilated cardiomyopathy and brachydactyly, with the hands less severely affected than the feet. Muscle weakness and/or myopathic electromyographic findings have been observed in some cases.
