Abstract
Conduction disturbances in the setting of calcific aortic valve diseas e have been well documented in the literature, In this report we descr ibe a case of a patient who presented in complete heart block and dysp nea on exertion. Subsequent non-invasive and invasive studies revealed moderate aortic stenosis and regurgitation with preserved left ventri cular function, Hemodynamically important physiological pressure wavef orm changes occurred before and after pacing the ventricles and are hi ghlighted here.
