Background: This case report highlights the conduction disorder anomalies associated with dengue infection, particularly bradyarrhythmias due to dysfunction of the sinus node and atrioventricular node, which may require cardiac stimulation such as pacemaker implantation. This case emphasizes the importance of continuous monitoring and the use of additional diagnostic techniques to detect complications in a timely manner.
Case Summary: A 31-year-old male patient was admitted to our institution with symptoms of dyspnoea, orthopnoea, and severe bradycardia.
Unlabelled: Bradycardia in pregnancy due to complete atrioventricular block (CAVB) is a rare but serious occurrence that can be life-threatening to the mother and fetus. Patients with CAVB may be asymptomatic, but symptomatic cases require urgent and definitive management.
Case Presentation: The case of a 20-year-old primigravida with previously undiagnosed CAVB who attended the obstetric emergency service in labor is presented.
Coronary artery fistulas are abnormal connections between the coronary arteries with a heart chamber or any of the major blood vessels. Fistulous connections between systemic arteries and pulmonary vessels are even less frequent. We present a case of a 71-year-old man with symptoms of dyspnea, exercise intolerance, and ventricular arrhythmia who attended the emergency department.
