Supra‐Hisian Conduction Block as an Unusual Presenting Feature of Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy

Abstract

Delayed recovery of AV conduction is possible in TC, thus implying to wait for a longer period before implanting a pacemaker.

Atrio‐ventricular block and takotsubo syndrome: A review illustrated with two case reports

“…TS may be complicated by transient but prolonged AV‐block. Cases with TS and transient AV‐block treated by temporary pacemaker implantation have been reported 5‐13 . A case of TS and AV‐block where AV‐block persisted for 2 weeks resulting in permanent pacemaker implantation 13 .…”

“…Cases with TS and transient AV‐block treated by temporary pacemaker implantation have been reported 5‐13 . A case of TS and AV‐block where AV‐block persisted for 2 weeks resulting in permanent pacemaker implantation 13 . At 1‐month follow‐up, the LV‐function recovered and there was no AV‐block.…”
