Abstract
In a case of calcific aortic stenosis with complete heart block, normal sinus rhythm returned following aortic valve replacement. A search in the literature reveals two such previous reports. It is suggested that complete heart block in association with aortic stenosis may be reversible and should be considered an early indication for aortic valve surgery.
