We present a case of complete atrioventricular (AV) block following slow pathway ablation for atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) treated only by colchicine administration. The patient’s electrocardiogram showed complete AV-block at two weeks after catheter ablation. Colchicine is effective for late-onset AV-block caused by catheter ablation for AVNRT.

We descrive a patient who presents palpitations during cardiac rehabilitation after mitral valvuloplasty. ECG showed regular narrow QRS tachycardia compatible with Atrioventricular Node Reentrant Tachycardia. After slow pathway radiofrequency catheter ablation, the patient completed the rehabilitation program remained tachycardia and palpitations-free.
