Abstract
COVID-19 predominantly affects the lungs manifesting as respiratory illnesses including pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Cardiac manifestations are also being increasingly reported such as pericardial disease, myocardial injury and dysfunction, arrhythmias and conduction abnormalities. A 70-year-old male with asymptomatic COVID-19 infection developed a transient episode of complete heart block just prior to his planned discharge from hospital. There are only few case reports purporting the development of a transient complete heart block in patients with moderate to severe COVID-19 infection. However, to date, this is the first report of incidentally detected, asymptomatic COVID-19 infection manifesting as third degree heart block.
