Abstract

The Kearns-Sayre syndrome is an uncommon disease, characterized by the triad of external ophthalmoplegia, retinitis pigmentosa, and heart block. Cardiac manifestations of this syndrome in a 31-year-old man are presented. Electrocardiogram revealed intermittent left bundle branch block and right bundle branch block with left anterior hemiblock. His bundle recording disclosed a prolonged HV interval. Clinical features of the syndrome are discussed and other published cases reviewed.
