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.

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).
