ABSTRACT
Patients infected with novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) can present with a variety of arrhythmias. We report an unusual case of reversible complete heart block (CHB) in the setting of acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). A 23-year-old male with a history of Hodgkin's Lymphoma presented with dizziness and syncope. He was found to be in CHB associated with hypotension requiring a transvenous pacemaker. Methylprednisolone and remdesivir were started with rapid resolution of the CHB. Further study is needed to determine the mechanism of CHB in COVID-19. This case underscores the importance of including COVID-19 in one's differential diagnosis for acute CHB.
