- Abstract
We report the case of a 19-year-old female who developed recurrent dizziness and syncope 2 years after cardiac transplant. During a pre-syncopal episode, a loop monitor revealed paroxysmal atrio-ventricular block (PAVB). The placement of a permanent transvenous pacemaker led to the resolution of her symptoms. In this report, we discuss the causes of PAVB, review the literature on PAVB in heart transplant patients, examine the electrophysiology of PAVB, and consider additional causes of PAVB in pediatric transplant patients.
