Permanent pacemaker implantation for atrioventricular block secondary to acute pancreatitis in a patient affected by panhypopituitarism.
Egypt Heart J
December 2024
Division of Cardiovascular and Perioperative Medicine, Careggi University Hospital, Largo Brambilla 3, 50134, Florence, Italy.
Background: Hypopituitarism may trigger the development of acute pancreatitis (AP) through multiple mechanisms. AP may alter normal intracardiac conduction leading to an atrioventricular block. Due to the lack of similar cases, the correct timing and indication for pacemaker implantation in such a setting are unknown.

Department of Pediatrics, Yamaguchi University Graduate School of Medicine, Ube, Yamaguchi, Japan.
We present the case of a fetus with cardiac capillary hemangioma in the right atrial cavity. The tumor showed dramatic growth between the 28 and 32 week of gestation and resulted in tachyarrhythmia. The patient was born at the 33 weeks of gestation weighing 2430 g via urgent cesarean section because the rapidly growing cardiac tumor caused incessant tachyarrhythmia, pericardial effusion, and fetal circulatory incompetence.

September 2022
Department of Cardiology and Intensive Care Medicine, University Hospital OWL of Bielefeld University, Campus Klinikum Bielefeld, Teutoburger Straße 50, 33604 Bielefeld, Germany.
Background: Patients with congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) are at high risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD). Although several triggers can provoke ventricular fibrillation (VF) in patients suffering from LQTS acquired heart disease in addition to LQTS should not be overlooked.
Case Summary: We present a case of a 47-year-old female patient who was diagnosed with congenital LQTS Type 2 at the age of 23 after surviving SCD.
Delayed occurrence of an accelerated idioventricular rhythm with alternating bundle branch block after myocardial infarction as predictor of sudden cardiac arrest: a case report.
Eur Heart J Case Rep
December 2020
Department of Cardiology, Schuechtermann Clinic, Heart Center Osnabrueck-Bad Rothenfelde, Ulmenallee 5-11, D-49214 Bad Rothenfelde, Germany.
Background: Accelerated idioventricular rhythm (AIVR) is known as reperfusion arrhythmia in the setting of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In healthy individuals, it is usually considered to be benign. Alternating bundle branch block (ABBB) often progresses to complete atrioventricular block requiring permanent pacemaker implantation.

Laboratory of Veterinary Clinical Oncology, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, 3-5-8 Saiwai-cho, Fuchu, Tokyo. Electronic address:
The cardiac conduction system was examined histologically in 12 canine cases of lymphocytic myocarditis with complete atrioventricular (AV) block. Histological analysis showed active myocarditis characterized by intense infiltration of mononuclear cells, primarily lymphoid, associated with degeneration and necrosis of the adjacent cardiomyocytes. Additionally, there was healing or healed myocarditis manifested by disappearance of cardiomyocytes and replacement fibrosis.
