Article Synopsis
- - An 83-year-old woman experienced recurrent syncope due to a bundle branch block and an esophageal hiatal hernia, which was compressing her left atrium and potentially reducing cardiac output.
- - She underwent surgery to repair the hiatal hernia but returned two months later with syncope, a pale face, and a very low pulse rate of 30 beats per minute, diagnosed with a complete atrioventricular block.
- - The case emphasizes the need for healthcare providers to recognize and predict atrioventricular blocks in patients with high-risk bundle-branch blocks to prevent misdiagnosis related to misleading symptoms.
