Abstract
- Patients infected with novel coronavirus (SARS‐CoV‐2) can present with a variety of arrhythmias. We report an unusual case of reversible complete heart block (CHB) in the setting of acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). A 23‐year‐old male with a history of Hodgkin's Lymphoma presented with dizziness and syncope. He was found to be in CHB associated with hypotension requiring a transvenous pacemaker. Methylprednisolone and remdesivir were started with rapid resolution of the CHB. Further study is needed to determine the mechanism of CHB in COVID‐19. This case underscores the importance of including COVID‐19 in one's differential diagnosis for acute CHB. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
