Case Report (n=1)
No
Highlights a case of third-degree heart block and elevated troponin in a COVID-19 recovered patient without CAD, successfully managed with a sequential AV pacemaker.
Post-COVID AV block may respond to sequential pacing; leaves open need for systematic study before practice change.
A 53-year-old female recently recovered from COVID-19 was re-admitted to the ICU with third degree heart block and acute respiratory hypoxic failure with no evidence of coronary artery disease following a left heart catheterization.The patient was placed on a sequential AV pacemaker and demonstrated clinical improvement.
