An atypical case of atrioventricular block in an elderly man: A fortuitous escape

Paroxysmal atrioventricular block (PAVB) is an important but under‐recognized etiology of syncope. It is characterised by sudden and unexpected change from 1:1 atrioventricular conduction to complete atrioventricular block. This poorly defined entity is usually associated with absence or delayed eme...

description Paroxysmal atrioventricular block (PAVB) is an important but under‐recognized etiology of syncope. It is characterised by sudden and unexpected change from 1:1 atrioventricular conduction to complete atrioventricular block. This poorly defined entity is usually associated with absence or delayed emergence of an adequate escape rhythm. We present a case of asymptomatic PAVB in an elderly man because of the presence of a stable escape rhythm.[Image: see text]
