| Summary: | <p>We describe an interesting case of a 52 year-old patient affected by thyrotoxicosis crisis, in whom sinoatrial blocks were associated with syncope and treated effi ciently with beta-blockers.</p><p>We hypothesized the Bezold-Jarisch refl ex as the mechanism which leads to bradycardia and hypotension with syncope related to prolonged tachycardia.</p><p>This hypothesis has not been, to our knowledge, considered in previous studies and offers therapeutic methods, as the patient was not treated with permanent pacing.</p> |
