Abstract

We present the case of an elderly female who presented to the emergency department with dizziness. She was found to have an acute chronic kidney injury complicated by a complete heart block (CHB). She received a transvenous pacemaker and was taken for hemodialysis (HD) with complete resolution of her heart block. The following day, she was noted to be symptomatic and bradycardic. A repeat electrocardiogram showed a recurrence of the CHB. She was taken again for HD which led to the resolution of her conduction abnormalities. Electrophysiology was consulted and she had a permanent pacemaker implanted prior to being discharged.<br />Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.<br /> (Copyright © 2024, Ring et al.)
