Abstract:
In two patients, symptoms associated with complete heart block and physical training resolved with deconditioning. In one patient, symptoms recurred after resumption of training but she has remained well for 4 years without a pacemaker. This suggests that complete heart block induced by fitness is benign, even when symptomatic.
