Transient Atrioventricular Block as a Complication of Influenza A Virus: A Case Report

摘要


Influenza is one of the most common respiratory viral infections, causing annual epidemics of respiratory illnesses characterized by sudden onset of fever, malaise, myalgias, cough, and other respiratory complaints. A spectrum of cardiovascular complications has also been reported in association with influenza infection. Cardiovascular involvement can occur through the direct effects of the virus on the myocardium or through the exacerbation of the existing cardiovascular disease. We report the case of an 86-year-old woman without a history of cardiac disease before admission who developed a transient complete atrioventricular block without myocarditis after acute infection with the influenza A virus.
