Abstract
Cardiac bradyarrhythmia and conduction disorder may be rare, but
recurrent adverse events caused by bortezomib. Here we report a case
with POEMS syndrome presenting severe heart block after bortezomib plus
dexamethasone therapy. After permanent pacemaker implantation,
bortezomib was restarted and maintained, resulting in sustained complete
response for POEMS syndrome.14 Nov 2022Submitted to Clinical Case Reports 14 Nov 2022Assigned to Editor
