There are few reports of cardiac involvement in patients with Kugelberg-Welander disease. We report a case of a 51-year-old man with Kugelberg-Welander disease who presented with syncope. His electrocardiogram showed complete right bundle branch block and transient complete atrioventricular block without escape rhythm. He was successfully treated with emergency temporary pacing followed by permanent pacemaker implantation. In this report, we review the relevant literature and argue that patients with Kugelberg-Welander disease should be evaluated regularly for cardiac disease.
We report a case of transient complete atrioventricular block in a 38-year-old man, after intake of a mixture of herbs, intended to aid cigarette smoking cessation. Since all other causes of conduction disturbances were excluded, a side-effect of the herbal remedy was identified as the most likely diagnosis. Given that most patients are unaware of the potential risks of the intake of various herbs, we would urge that their usage be regulated.
