AbstractThere are few reports of cardiac involvement in patients with Kugelberg-Welander disease. We report a case of a 51-year-old man with Kugelberg-Welander disease who presented with syncope. His electrocardiogram showed complete right bundle branch block and transient complete atrioventricular block without escape rhythm. He was successfully treated with emergency temporary pacing followed by permanent pacemaker implantation. In this report, we review the relevant literature and argue that patients with Kugelberg-Welander disease should be evaluated regularly for cardiac disease.
