Abstract
A 29-year-old comatose patient was brought to Emergency Department with severe alcohol intoxication. No risk factors or cardiac
abnormalities were documented. The analysis was negative for other drugs. Plasma electrolyte and cardiac enzymes were normal. The
electrocardiogram showed Mobitz type-I atrioventricular block that developed to a rapid junctional rhythm. The patient was stabilized and
recovered completely, electrocardiogram then showed sinus rhythm. He admitted important absinthe consumption. Although
tachyarrhythmias are frequently developed in acute alcohol intoxication, bradyarrhythmias are exceptional in this context. We present a
Wenckebach-type atrioventricular-block in severe alcohol intoxication with absinthe that developed to a rapid junctional rhythm, never
described before.
