  • Title: Temporary third-degree atrioventricular block in a case of apical ballooning syndrome.
    Author: Nef HM, Möllmann H, Sperzel J, Weber M, Brück H, Hamm CW, Elsässer A.
    Journal: Int J Cardiol; 2006 Nov 10; 113(2):e33-5. PubMed ID: 16793149.
    Abstract:
    Apical ballooning is characterized by severe but reversible contractile dysfunction. The causative factor and the pathomechanism remain unknown. Several arrhythmias are reported to occur in apical-ballooning. We present a unique case of a 58-year-old man presenting with apical ballooning complicated by a prolonged third-degree atrioventricular block requiring the implantation of a pacemaker.
