Complete heart block in Reiter's syndrome.

Complete heart block with Stokes-Adams attacks was diagnosed in a 30 year old male, who had suffered from a Reiter's syndrome for only 3 1/2 years. The heart block was unaffected by treatment with high dose corticosteroids, and a permanent pacemaker was implanted. There were no signs of concomitant aortic insufficiency or spondylitis/sacroiliitis.
