|
This is a case report of a 57-year-old patient diagnosed with bradycardia and atrioventricular (AV) block. The chief complaint of the patient was palpitation and dizziness. An electrocardiogram (ECG) showed a second degree AV block with 2:1 AV conduction. The patient was treated with Korean medicine, including herbal medicine, for 35 days. After 2 weeks of treatment, the heart rate increased from 33 to 56 and the follow-up electrocardiogram showed normal findings. The symptoms of palpitation and dizziness were also improved. The effect on heart rate, ECG, and symptoms lasted until the end of the treatment. This case report demonstrated that Korean medicine could be effective for treatment of symptomatic bradycardia with AV block.
