Complete heart block in mumps myocarditis

M Arita, Y Ueno, Y Masuyama

    British Heart Journal
    |September 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Mumps myocarditis can cause persistent atrioventricular block, requiring pacemaker implantation. This case highlights the cardiac complications of mumps virus infection.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Virology

    Background:

    • Mumps is a viral illness typically causing parotid gland swelling.
    • Myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle, can be a rare complication of mumps.
    • Cardiac conduction disturbances are a known, though infrequent, sequela of viral myocarditis.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with typical mumps symptoms, including fever and parotid swelling.
    • Following the initial infection, the patient developed atrioventricular block.
    • The conduction disturbance persisted despite a two-week course of steroid treatment.

    Findings:

    • The patient experienced an Adams-Stokes attack due to the severe atrioventricular block.
    • A permanent pacemaker was surgically implanted to manage the cardiac arrhythmia.
    • The patient became pacemaker-dependent, indicating the long-term impact of the mumps-related myocarditis.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the potential for severe cardiac conduction abnormalities in mumps myocarditis.
    • It highlights the limitations of steroid therapy in resolving certain viral-induced heart blocks.
    • The necessity of long-term cardiac monitoring and management, including pacemaker dependency, in affected patients is emphasized.
