Cardiac involvement in COVID-19 is not rare but underdiagnosed. We report a 78-year-old man with COVID-19 and complete heart block, timely managed by teamwork involving internist, cardiologist, and intensivist. This case highlights the importance of involvement of the conducting system of the heart in COVID-19 that needs immediate life-saving intervention, especially in community.
