Abstract

We present the case of a 10-year-old boy with congenital complete atrioventricular block who had cardiac strangulation by an epicardial pacemaker lead placed during infancy. Coronary angiography and Tc99m tetrofosmin myocardial perfusion scintigraphy suggested sub-clinical myocardial ischaemia.
