Takotsubo syndrome (TS) can be complicated by life‐threatening arrhythmias. Data on the association of AV‐block, pacemaker implantation, and TS are scarce. We describe two cases of AV‐block associated with TS. AV‐block persisted despite the recovery of left ventricular dysfunction during follow‐up. A review of AV‐block and TS association is provided.
