Pacing Clin Electrophysiol. 1997 Jan;20(1 Pt 1):134-5. doi: 10.1111/j.1540-8159.1997.tb04825.x.

Abstract

A 65-year-old female was hospitalized for syncope due to new onset complete heart block. An apical holosystolic murmur was detected on physical examination. Echocardiography revealed corrected transposition of great arteries, and Ebstein-like anomaly with regurgitation at the left-sided tricuspid valve. A single chamber (VVI) pacemaker was implanted and patient has been asymptomatic thereafter.
