Paroxysmal Atrioventricular Block.
Heart rhythm, 2009Co-Authors: Sinjin Lee, Hein J.j. Wellens, Mark E. JosephsonAbstract:Paroxysmal Atrioventricular Block (AVB) is a poorly defined clinical entity characterized by abrupt and unexpected change from 1:1 Atrioventricular conduction to complete heart Block, leading to syncope and potential sudden cardiac death. Although a dangerous condition because of unreliable escape mechanism, proper diagnosis of paroxysmal AVB is often missed and overlooked because of its unfamiliarity, unpredictability, and in some cases, no clear evidence of Atrioventricular conduction disease during normal 1:1 conduction.

Reversible Atrioventricular Block and the Amplatzer device
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2005Co-Authors: Benjamin M. Kaplan, Pablo DenesAbstract:We read with great interest the recent study by Suda et al. ([1][1]), entitled “Reversible Atrioventricular Block Associated With Closure of Atrial Septal Defects Using the Amplatzer Device.” We disagree with their interpretation of the upper electrocardiograph rhythm strip in Figure 1.

Anti-Ro antibodies and reversible Atrioventricular Block.
The New England journal of medicine, 2013Co-Authors: Irene Santos-pardo, Melania Martínez-morillo, Roger Villuendas, Antoni Bayes-genisAbstract:To the Editor: Transplacental transfer of anti-Ro antibodies is a well-known cause of conduction defects and permanent Atrioventricular Block in newborns.1 In adults, conduction disturbances related to these antibodies are rare.2 We report a case of a 26-year-old woman with no history of this condition who was admitted to the hospital through the emergency department after having several syncopal episodes. Electrocardiography (ECG) performed while the patient was at rest showed complete Atrioventricular Block and ventricular escape rhythm associated with left bundle-branch Block (Figure 1A). Laboratory evaluation included a positive test for antinuclear antibodies (with the HEp-2 cell substrate) at a . . .

Paroxysmal atrial tachycardia with second-degree Atrioventricular Block.
Cardiology, 1997Co-Authors: Miin-fu Chen, G. B.-f. Guo, Kuan-cheng ChangAbstract:Paroxysmal atrial tachycardia with Atrioventricular Block usually indicates potentially dangerous overdigitalization, and serious heart disease is almost universally present. In this report, we describe a patient with a structurally normal heart who manifested spontaneously intra-atrial reentrant tachycardia with Wenckebach Atrioventricular Block in the absence of medications. In this patient, the longest atrial paced cycle length that induced Atrioventricular nodal Block was 390 ms, and the atrial cycle length during tachycardia ranged from 360 to 400 ms. The electrophysiologic study in our patient demonstrated that second-degree Atrioventricular Block during atrial tachycardia may occur in patients without structural heart diseases or taking any medication.
