Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We describe a patient with Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) who developed complete heart block. Prompt treatment with steroids and cyclophosphamide led to regression of the complete heart block. The patient was left with a persistent first degree atrio-ventricular block, however. Early treatment may obviate the need for permanent pacing in such cases. |
