He had a history of a cold with a fever of 39°C occurring three days earlier. Electrocardiography (ECG) showed complete atrioventricular block (AV block) with a maximum pause of 32 seconds, for which temporary pacing was performed. Echocardiography showed mild hypertrophy of the left ventricle (LV) with a normal ejection fraction of 61%. Coronary angiography showed normal coronary arteries. Then, an endomyocardial biopsy was performed, the results of which indicated a diagnosis of acute myocarditis. After admission, the complete atrioventricular block disappeared together with normalization of the LV wall thickness., Internal Medicine, 51(21), pp.3035-3040; 2012}, pages = {3035--3040}, title = {Seizures and Syncope Due to Complete Atrioventricular Block in a Patient with Acute Myocarditis with a Normal Left Ventricular Systolic Function}, volume = {51}, year = {2012} }
