Sumario:A 13‐year‐old girl was admitted to the Cardiology Clinic of West China Hospital with complains of recurrent palpitations for 1 year, dizziness, and chest tightness. Her ECG intercepted at different time periods in the Holter exhibited complex electrophysiological phenomena, such as sinus arrhythmia, dominant PJB, interpolated PJB, concealed PJB, isolated forward block, insularly retrograde block, reciprocal beat, junctional escape beat, interference atrioventricular dissociation, pseudo‐I°AVB, and pseudo‐II°AVB, which occurred simultaneously. This condition is extremely rare in clinical practice. The patient was prescribed an antiarrhythmic drug (propafenone 50 mg tid). After treatment, the PJB gradually decreased, and the pseudo‐AVB disappeared. Pseudo AVB is generally a benign phenomenon and proper recognition may avoid erroneously permanent pacemaker implantation.
