Abstract
A Man with Myalgias, Fever, and Bradycardia
A 56-year-old man presented in early autumn with a 1-month history of myalgias and fever. His heart rate was 48 beats per minute. An electrocardiogram showed sinus bradycardia and complete heart block; cardiac imaging showed inflammatory changes in the epicardial fat abutting the noncoronary sinus of the aortic valve. A diagnostic test was performed.
