Permanent pacemaker implantation and medical therapy due to complete atrioventricular block and comorbid cardiac pathology are considered at an example of clinical case. Permanent pacemaker solved the problem of AV-block, however, drug therapy due to arterial hypertension, heart failure and dyslipidemia is not canceled and requires modification.

Complete Av Block

A 72-year-old man, who had been diagnosed as having hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with multiple extrahepatic metastasis, complained a general fatigue which appeared 2 weeks before admission. Because bradycardia was detected on physical examination, ECG was performed which revealed the complete atrioventricular (AV) block. We stopped Ca-blocker and β-blocker, but the bradycardia persisted. He was admitted to our hospital for an emergent pacemaker implantation. On admission, he complained dyspnoea. After the surgery, he died due to deterioration of heart failure. The autopsy revealed cardiac metastasis of HCC on AV node, so it was suspected that cardiac metastasis caused the AV block. We thought that the cause of his death was the exacerbation of heart failure associated with bradycardia. It was likely that complete AV block as a very rare complication caused by cardiac metastasis of HCC influenced the prognosis of this patient.

Complete Atrioventricular

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.
