During the assessment of a third-degree atrioventricular (AV) block in a patient with syncope, different etiologies should be considered and evaluated. Extrinsic vagal paroxysmal AV block, extrinsic idiopathic AV block and intrinsic paroxysmal AV block are among the types of third-degree AV block in the differential diagnoses. Extrinsic vagal paroxysmal third-degree atrioventricular block (EV-AVB) is linked to parasympathetic influence on cardiac conduction and can be observed in bladder distention and urinary retention.

A 19-year-old patient presented for syncope with third-degree AV block (TDAVB) at ECG. A chest-CT showed a thymic mass that could be responsible for TDAVB due to extrinsic vagal nerve compression. Thymectomy led to complete AV block resolution.

The pathophysiology of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) involves multi-organ dysfunction, particularly involving the respiratory, cardiovascular and hematological systems. This dysfunction is partly due to systemic inflammation causing a wide array of pathological sequelae thus posing a significant challenge to management despite the advances in treatment made thus far. In this report, we present a COVID-19 patient who developed a transient complete heart block and was temporarily paced as a complication of a saddle pulmonary embolus (PE).
