Bradycardic effects of severe weight loss are well known like those observed in anorexia nervosa resulting from an increase in vagal tone associated with a low calorie-protein diet. We here report the case of a 19-year-old patient with asymptomatic severe bradycardia, which developed after voluntary weight loss of more than 30 kg during a few months. In absence of symptoms, ventricular arrhythmia or structural heart disease, and owing to normal ventricular function, no permanent pacemaker implantation was undertaken. After a follow-up of more than 15 years, clinical conditions are stable, the patient is asymptomatic and bradycardic, and no changes in weight are reported. |
