Paroxysmal atrio-ventricular (AV) block is a relatively rare form of bradyarrhythmia that may be caused by vagal reflex, intrinsic His-Prukinje system (HPS) disorder, or idiopathic mechanisms. We report a case with paroxysmal AV block and syncopal episodes that appeared only during intra-atrial reentrant tachycardia (IART) after an ablation procedure. Syncope did not occur under sinus rhythm with stable 1:1 AV conduction. An HPS disorder was proven in an electrophysiological study. It was suggested that paroxysmal AV block was induced via a tachycardia-dependent mechanism with an exacerbation of latent HPS disorder. The occurrence of the IART was only transient, and there was no recurrent syncope during one-year follow-up. Pacemaker implantation could be avoided. < Paroxysmal atrio-ventricular block is a relatively rare form of bradyarrhythmia and can occur only during atrial tachyarrhythmia. Indications for a cardiac implantable electrical device should be carefully considered if the attributed tachycardia is treatable.>.
阵发性房室传导阻滞是一种相对罕见的缓慢性心律失常形式,可能由迷走神经反射、希氏-浦肯野系统(HPS)固有疾病或特发性机制引起。我们报告一例阵发性房室传导阻滞和晕厥发作的病例,这些症状仅在消融术后房内折返性心动过速(IART)期间出现。在窦性心律且房室传导稳定为1:1时未发生晕厥。电生理研究证实存在HPS疾病。提示阵发性房室传导阻滞是通过心动过速依赖性机制诱发的,伴有潜在HPS疾病的加重。IART的发生只是短暂的,在一年的随访中没有复发性晕厥。可以避免植入起搏器。<阵发性房室传导阻滞是一种相对罕见的缓慢性心律失常形式,且仅在房性快速性心律失常期间发生。如果归因的心动过速是可治疗的,则应仔细考虑心脏植入式电子装置的适应证。>
