Abstract

An 83-year-old man was hospitalized due to general fatigue and dyspnoea. He was diagnosed as having complete atrioventricular (AV) block due to cardiac involvement by a malignant lymphoma. Eleven days after the initiation of chemotherapy, the complete AV block disappeared and only a first degree AV block remained.
