Summary

We report a 12-year-old boy with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy presenting with syncope. His electrocardiogram showed first-degree atrioventricular block, complete right bundle branch block, conduction delay in the anterior fascicle of the left bundle branch, and intermittent complete atrioventricular block. We detected hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in the mother. The relationship between the diseases is discussed, and interpreted in the light of previous descriptions.
