Case of reversible Mobitz type II atrioventricular block after the use of injectable antipsychotics

Abstract

Abstract Although Mobitz type II atrioventricular block is typically an arrhythmia arising from a permanent organic disorder of the His‐Purkinje system, reversible factors should also be considered. Here, we report the association between a rare reversible Mobitz type II atrioventricular block and antipsychotic medication in a 75‐year‐old patient with schizophrenia.
