The association of atrial fibrillation (AF) with complete atrioventricular block (CAVB) is a common clinical feature in elderly patients. It is characterized by the loss of specific symptoms of AF (palpitations, intermissions); in the first place may come CAVB symptoms: dizziness, Morgagni–Adams–Stokes (MAS) attacks. Aim. The article objective is to illustrate the dynamic changes in the course of AF with the development of CAVB on the example of a clinical case and to discuss the difficulties in timely diagnosis and therapy correction. Case presentation. A 75-year-old male was diagnosed with a rapid ventricular response form of AF. The onset of CAVB caused the transition from rapid ventricular response form of AF to slow ventricular response form, which was initially accompanied by a subjective improvement in the patient’s condition. As the disease progressed, the patient’s condition worsened due to the development of MAS attacks. The elderly patients with a permanent form of AF require constant cardiac monitoring by an experienced specialist who has appropriate vigilance in management of patients with arrhythmias, awareness about possible concomitant conduction disorders. This provides comprehensive cardiac support, including timely pacemaker implantation which gives more options for AF symptoms monitoring and heart rate control, has a positive modifying effect on drug therapy. Conclusions. Changes in the clinical picture of AF after development of CAVB can lead to late diagnosis of CAVB, inadequate therapy and untimely pacemaker implantation, as a consequence, to progression of concomitant pathology and the development of life-threatening complications, as in our clinical case.

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.

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.
