Abstract

Abstract : Paroxysmal atrioventricular (AV) block is characterized by sudden appearance of complete heart block with no escape rhythm. Three types have been described having different mechanisms namely, vagally mediated, intrinsic, and idiopathic. A rare case scenario is being described with the occurrence of paroxysmal AV block of all three types in the same patient.
