Wegener's granulomatosis with complete heart block.

R Handa1, J P Wali, P Aggarwal, N Wig, A Biswas, A K Kumar.   

Abstract

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.
