Congenital Complete Atrioventricular Block and Dilated Cardiomyopathy: New Light for an Old Disease

We present a case of a patient with known complete congenital atrioventricular block (CAVB) since the age of 7 years old that developed dilated cardiomyopathy ten years after VVI-R pacemaker implantation. He presented severe biventricular dysfunction and was symptomatic despite optimal medical ther...
