The present case reports on a patient presenting the cardiac form of Chagas disease, with left ventricular dysfunction and second-degree atrioventricular block Mobitz type II, associated with several syncope episodes. The patient underwent a double-chamber definitive artificial pacemaker implant. One year after the implant, the displacement of the atrial electrode was diagnosed and the patient was submitted to re-implantation of the atrial electrode. Two years after the first surgical procedure, the patient presented dyspnea on exertion. The physical evaluation included an echocardiogram, which detected the presence of a foreign body with metallic characteristics in the left cardiac chambers, consistent with that of an ectopic pacemaker electrode.
