Abstract
Association between alcohol intake and atrioventricular block is rare. This case describes a previously healthy 27-year-old man experiencing syncopes preceded by moderate alcohol intake. An implantable loop recorder demonstrated episodes of total atrioventricular block coinciding with an additional syncope after alcohol intake, resulting in pacemaker implantation. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
