Abstract
ABSTRACT
Ventricular tachyarrhythmias are common in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy that
may lead to syncope and sudden death. Bradyarrhythmia such as atrioventricular
conduction disturbance, a relatively rare complication associated with hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy, may also cause syncope and sudden death in hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy. We report a 28-year old man who was diagnosed as a case of
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy presented with syncope and complete heart block.
Subsequently, a permanent pacemaker was implanted to the patient.
