초록

Exercise-induced atrioventricular (AV) block in patients with normal AV conduction at rest is rare. Herein, we describe the case of a 67-yearold woman with normal 1 : 1 AV conduction at rest, who developed complete AV block during a treadmill test. Our patient complained of effort-related dizziness and dyspnea, which had been ongoing for 3 months. The patient's physical examination was normal. The resting electrocardiogram showed left anterior fascicular block with a PR interval of 0.19 seconds. The echocardiogram was normal except for mild aortic valve regurgitation. During the treadmill test, the patient developed complete AV block at a sinus rate of 90 beats/min, which was followed by 2 : 1 AV block associated with dyspnea and dizziness. The patient's coronary angiogram was normal, and the ergonovine provocation test was negative. Electrophysiological studies demonstrated ratedependent intranodal AV block. The patient received implantation of a permanent dual chamber (DDD) pacemaker and had no further symptoms during the follow-up period.
