    Abstract:
    Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the heart muscle that most commonly occurs after infectious diseases in childhood. The clinical picture of acute myocarditis ranges from asymptomatic infection to fulminant heart failure and sudden death (1). Most of the patients may present with nonspecific symptoms such as respiratory distress, chest pain, nausea, and vomiting (2). While rhythm abnormalities such as ventricular and supraventricular rhythm disorders can be observed in these patients, various degrees of atrioventricular blocks may rarely develop (3). In this article, we aimed to present a patient who developed second-degree, high-grade atrioventricular block after myocarditis and recovered completely after treatment.
