    We report a case of transient complete heart block with Stokes-Adams attack due to acute rheumatic fever. The patient was a 12-year old boy whose illness satisfied the criteria of acute rheumatic fever. A temporary transvenous cardiac pacer was necessary to tide him over the complete heart block. The rarity of this complication of acute rheumatic fever is highlighted.

    Cardiac arrhythmias are common in patients with thyrotoxicosis. Conduction abnormalities have been seen in a few thyrotoxic patients, but these, in particular high grade atrioventricular (AV) block, often occur in the presence of other conditions. Three thyrotoxic patients with conduction abnormalities are described: two were associated with severe hypokalaemia and the third had congestive cardiac failure. Conditions predisposing to conduction abnormality should be identified when this occurs in a thyrotoxic patient as their correction may help resolve or explain the conduction abnormality.
