Transient Atrioventricular Complete Block Rarely Detected in a Patient with COVID-19: A Case Report

Abstract

Patients infected with the COVID-19 virus may be symptomatic or asymptomatic. Most symptomatic patients present to the hospital with fever, cough, shortness of breath, runny nose, muscle and diarthrosis pain, diarrhea, and loss of taste. In addition, myocardial infarction (MI), myocarditis, stroke, tachyarrhythmias, and pulmonary embolism have also been reported. Although it is rare, bradyarrhythmia can also be seen in this patient group. Cardiopulmonary pathologies were excluded with transthoracic echocardiography, laboratory analyses, thorax computed tomography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. In this study, we aimed to present a patient infected with COVID-19, who had no cardiac or pulmonary involvement but had a temporary atrioventricular (AV) complete block.
