ABSTRACT
Torsades de pointes (TdP) is a rare complication of a complete atrioventricular block with QT prolongation. Additional risk factors, such as hypokalemia, may increase the risk of TdP during atrioventricular (AV) block. We experienced a case of TdP, caused by a complete heart block and hypokalemia, which was successfully treated by implanting a permanent pacemaker and correction of the electrolyte imbalance.
