A 26-year male came to the emergency department with a history of syncope along with fever and joint pains of two weeks duration. The electrocardiogram showed a complete heart block (CHB). On further workup, the CHB appeared secondary to Acute Rheumatic Carditis (ARC). The CHB recovered over a week with anti-inflammatory therapy. This case shows that ARC can manifest with a complete heart block and syncope, which is reversible.

Of the four cardiac valves, the pulmonic valve is the least suspected in most pathologies when one thinks of endocarditis, pulmonary valve is hardly considered. We can call it a “forgotten valve”. Isolated pulmonary valve endocarditis has less than 100 reported cases [1]. We present a case of isolated pulmonary valve endocarditis in a 27-year-old male with past medical history of IVDA, who presented to the hospital with sudden onset of chest pain and shortness of breath.
