Abstract:
Background:The primary manifestation of COVID-19 infection was pulmonary involvement. However, it can also manifest as a cardiovascular problem.
Methods:We report a case of 82-year-old male COVID-19 patient who experienced atrioventricular (AV) conduction disturbance.
Results:The rhythm was degenerated from sinus rhythm to complete AV block. We observe dynamic AV node dysfunction associated with inflammatory response. His bundle pacing successfully captured distal His region.
Conclusion:The severe inflammatory response during COVID-19 infection might permanently damage cardiac conduction system resulted in a complete AV node block.
