One patient with complete atrioventricular heart block and another with high-degree atrioventricular block, complicated by "torsade de pointes" are presented. Both patients were symptomatic. One had a syncopal episode and the other presented with signs and symptoms of congestive heart failure. The electrocardiographic phenomena of torsade de pointes was repeatedly recorded. No other known predisposing factors for torsade de pointes were identified. The use of right ventricular endocardial pacing suppressed the paroxysms in both patients.
