Key result
Electroconvulsive therapy was associated with the onset of atrioventricular dissociation in a single patient, which was subsequently treated with pacemaker implantation.
Population

May indicate rare conduction risk during electroconvulsive therapy; leaves open need for prospective monitoring studies in at-risk patients.
Case Report (n=1)
Electroconvulsive therapy can cause significant cardiac complications such as atrioventricular dissociation requiring pacemaker implantation.
Yu et al. (2011) conducted a case report in Atrioventricular dissociation (n=1). Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) was evaluated on Atrioventricular (AV) dissociation. Electroconvulsive therapy was associated with the onset of atrioventricular dissociation in a single patient, which was subsequently treated with pacemaker implantation.
