Lawrence Gould M.D.1; Ruth Diaz M.D.1; and Robert Comprecht M.D.1

1 Department of Medicine, Misericordia-Fordham Hospital, Bronx, New York

A 20-year-old man with antecedent upper respiratory tract infection was found to be in complete heart block. A transvenous pacemaker was successfully inserted. Subsequent viral studies and serum enzyme determinations supported the diagnosis of a Coxsackie B myocarditis. Six weeks after the onset of the illness, cardiac catheterization was performed, which revealed no hemodynamic abnormalities.
