ABSTRACT
Apathetic thyrotoxicosis is an exceedingly rare presentation of thyroid storm. The clinical picture is one of apathy rather than hyperactivity, and cardiovascular manifestations predominate though abnormal atrioventricular [AV] conduction specially complete heart block are very rare. We report a case of a 28 year-old Indian staff nurse presenting with loss of consciousness, shock and complete heart block which promptly resolved after the thyrotoxicosis was treated by oral carbimazole and few doses of hydrocortisone
