Myocarditis with Complete Heart Block in a Child With COVID-19 Infection

Complete heart block and itchy rash in a patient with COVID-19

Background: The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a global crisis, as the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 as a global pandemic. Complete heart block, resulting from an abnormal heart rhythm, is a rare presentation of this infection, which can be life-threatening due to possible progression into ventricular tachycardia. Case Presentation: We report a c...

Complete heart block in mumps myocarditis.

A patient with mumps myocarditis is reported. The onset of mumps was typical, with fever and parotid swelling followed by raised virus antibody titres. Atrioventricular block occurred and persisted despite steroid treatment for two weeks. He had an Adams-Stokes attack. A permanent pacemaker was implanted and, thereafter, the patient remained dependent upon it. The published material on conducti...

Complete atrioventricular block associated with toxoplasma myocarditis.

Myocarditis has been described during and after a wide variety of infectious agents: viral, rickettsial, bacterial, protozoal, and metazoal diseases may cause cardiac inflammation. We report a case of toxoplasma myocarditis in a young healthy man.

Hyperkalemia-induced complete heart block

Background: Potassium, as an extracellular ion, plays an important role in the electrophysiologic function of the myocardium and any change in extracellular concentration of this ion might have a marked impression upon myocyte electrophysiologic gain. High serum potassium levels are thought to impair pulse conduction in Purkinje fibers and ventricles more than that in the Atrio...
