Transient Second-Degree Atrioventricular Block: A Rare Finding in Sickle Cell Crisis

Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects approximately 100,000 Americans, and it occurs in one out of every 365 African American births. Cardiac complications are a common feature of SCD and are an essential cause of the morbidity and mortality associated with SCD. However, there is insufficient literature...

description Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects approximately 100,000 Americans, and it occurs in one out of every 365 African American births. Cardiac complications are a common feature of SCD and are an essential cause of the morbidity and mortality associated with SCD. However, there is insufficient literature on SCD and atrioventricular (AV) blocks. We present a case of a young African American male with transient second-degree Mobitz type 1 block during an acute episode of sickle cell crisis.
