Population

52-year-old male with paroxysmal heart block, left and right bundle branch block, resulting in Stokes-Adams attacks

Intervention

Electrophysiological studies and postmortem examination

Outcome

Discordance between electrophysiological findings and pathological findings

Electrophysiological studies may appear completely normal in patients with pathologically significant chronic conduction disease.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Normal EP studies may miss significant conduction disease from calcific aortic stenosis; this case report leaves open the need for complementary diagnostics in unexplained bradyarrhythmias.
