Abstract

Third-degree atrioventricular (AV) block, also referred to as complete heart block (CHB), is caused by a cardiac conduction system disease or damage resulting in no conduction through the atrioventricular node (AVN), leading to complete dissociation of the atrial and ventricular beats. We present a case of a patient with acquired CHB who has been treated without a permanent pacemaker.

Keywords

complete heart block (CHB); conservative treatment; palpitations; permanent pacemaker
