ABSTRACT
We report the case of a 32 years old men with a 5 years history of rheumatoid arthritis treated by prednisone and methotrexate, admitted because of syncope. Cardiac explorations revealed a complete atrioventricolar block. A permanent pace maker was inserted. The patient made an uneventful recovery. Complete atrioventricular block is a severe conduction defect which is particularly rare in the course of rheumatoid arthritis. The relevant literature is briefly reviewed
