Inferior wall myocardial infarction occurs in approximately 50% of all myocardial infarctions. The most common conduction disorder of this disease is complete atrioventricular block. Immediate attention must be given to the myocardial infarction patients with conduction block due to the increased mortality rate in these patients. Temporary pacemaker implantation and permanent pacemaker implantation are recommended in complete atrioventricular block cases that do not improve with reperfusion. In this case report, a 64-year-old-female patient came to the emergency department of a rural General Hospital with complaints of epigastric pain, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting for 2 days before admission. She had uncontrolled hypertension without a history of diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, smoking, or a family history of heart disease. The electrocardiogram displayed an acute inferior wall myocardial infarction and complete atrioventricular block with escape junctional rhythm with a heart rate of 17 bpm. She was diagnosed with nonreperfused inferior wall myocardial infarction and a complete atrioventricular block. She was successfully treated with only dopamine and epinephrine as the definitive treatment because the patient refused to be referred to a tertiary hospital for percutaneous coronary intervention and pacemaker implantation due to financial reasons. Dopamine and epinephrine may be considered for complete atrioventricular block if transfer to a higher level of care is not feasible and as bridge therapy while waiting for transfer.

Abstract A young child presented with hepatomegaly, ascites, and bradycardia in the setting of coronavirus disease-2019. Permanent complete atrioventricular block and severe right heart failure were diagnosed. He was treated with surgical epicardial pacemaker implantation. This report is the first description of coronavirus disease-2019–induced permanent complete atrioventricular block in a child.

AbstractCongenital complete atrioventricular block is a known lethal condition. Although antenatal diagnosis and the technical advances of pacemaker treatment have reduced its mortality, treatment of premature babies with significant myocardial damage remains a challenge. In this paper, we report the case of a premature low-birth-weight infant with congenital complete atrioventricular block and extremely low ventricular rate, fetal hydrops, and myocarditis who was successfully treated with staged permanent pacemaker implantation.

The management of device implantation during the COVID-19 infection has not well defined yet. This is the first case of complete atrioventricular block in a symptomatic patient affected by the COVID-19 infection treated with early pacemaker implantation to minimize the risk of virus contagion.
