Abstract :
We report a case of a 62-year-old male with Steinert’s disease who presented with progressive intermittent episodes of
lightheadedness five years after he was diagnosed with the disease. On evaluation, he developed a new onset trifascicular block (first
degree atrioventricular block, new onset right bundle branch block, and left anterior fascicular block). A dual chamber pacemaker
was inserted and lightheadedness improved significantly.
