Abstract
- We report the case of a 52-year-old man who had two syncopal episodes associated with coughing. Other than essential hypertension, he had no organic disease of the heart or lungs. Transient complete atrioventricular block following coughing was detected by electrocardiographic telemonitoring while resting. During that time, the patient experienced near-syncope similar to his previous syncopal episodes. He was treated successfully with permanent pacemaker implantation.
