A case of atrioventricular block (AVB) complicating hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy is reported and analysed with respect to the results of cardiac catheterisation. The installation of 2nd degree AVB was associated with an increase of the intraventricular pressure gradient from 36 to 128 mmHg. This aggravation was related to the lenghtening of diastole which lowered the aortic diastolic pressure and allowed a more forceful ventricular contraction with a reduction in the calibre of the intraventricular stenosis. The sudden lenghtening of diastole also led to an increased contractility of the following systole. In complete AVB the increased gradient was related to a reduction in ventricular volume secondary to the loss of atrial systole. The 33 mmHg pressure gradient disappeared when spontaneous atrial systole or an atrial systole provoked by sequential atrioventricular pacing preceded ventricular contraction. Sequential atrioventricular pacing would seem to be the most appropriate pacing technique in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy complicated by complete AVB.
