Core Tip
Core Tip: Cardiolaminopathy diagnosis, especially in its initial stage, is challenging. In presence of misleading factors, such as coronary stenosis, and limiting factors, such as the coronavirus disease 2019-related lockdown, the difficulties increase. Remote monitoring for assessing arrhythmic burden and clinical suspicion make it possible to safely diagnose this rare disease.
