| Abstrakt: | Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects approximately 100,000 Americans, and it occurs in one out of every 365 African American births. Cardiac complications are a common feature of SCD and are an essential cause of the morbidity and mortality associated with SCD. However, there is insufficient literature on SCD and atrioventricular (AV) blocks. We present a case of a young African American male with transient second-degree Mobitz type 1 block during an acute episode of sickle cell crisis.
