| Abstrakt: | We describe a case of a 44-year-old male with a history of Wolf-Hirschorn syndrome (WHS) with seizures and mental retardation who was evaluated for what was thought to be a seizure. He was found to be severely bradycardic with a heart rate of 24 bpm. The electrocardiogram revealed third-degree atrioventricular block and he subsequently underwent an uncomplicated single-chamber pacemaker implantation procedure. This is a unique report given its status as the first described case of bradycardic rhythm abnormalities in a patient with WHS. Competing Interests: Dr. Percell reports that he is on speaker bureaus for Abbott Medical, Biosense Webster, Janssen, Pfizer, and Boehringer Ingelheim and is the founder of the SANS FLUORO Association, outside the scope of the submitted work.
