Permanent pacemaker implantation for atrioventricular block secondary to acute pancreatitis in a patient affected by panhypopituitarism
No other cases of high-grade atrioventricular block in panhypopituitarism-induced AP have been reported in the literature. Our case suggests a pacemaker is necessary if the atrioventricular block does not recover with AP resolution. Further evidence is required to improve the management of rhythm disturbances in hypopituitarism patients who develop AP.
