A-V block in accidental hypothermia.
His bundle electrocardiography was performed on a patient with accidental hypothermia on whom the standard electrocardiogram (ECG) showed absent P waves, prominent J waves and a slightly irregular rhythm. Sino-ventricular conduction and a prolonged AH interval not responsive to atropine were found. These abnormalities reversed with rewarming.
