Abstract

Background: Membranous interventricular septal aneurysm has been reported to accompany atrioventricular (AV) conduction defects. If it is accompanied by AV block, patients generally become symptomatic before the age of 40.<br />Case Report: A 65-year-old male presented with presyncope and extreme fatigue for one week. Resting ECG showed a 2: 1 AV block. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed an interventricular septal aneurysm without any shunt. After making the diagnosis of type 2 second-degree AV block, a DDDR pacemaker was implanted.<br />Conclusions: We presented a 65-year-old male with new-onset presyncope. A diagnosis of septal aneurysm and associated AV block was made and a pacemaker was implanted.
