Mini‐Abstract We present a 74‐year‐old man with a history of hypertension presented to the emergency room with shortness of breath and dizziness. A resting electrocardiogram showed 2:1 atrioventricular block with a wide QRS duration and a rhythm of 35 beats/min. Transthoracic echocardiography was performed and color flow D oppler, color M ‐mode, and continuous‐wave D oppler recordings of the transmitral flow revealed retrograde flow into the left atrium after the blocked P ‐wave, which indicate holodiastolic mitral regurgitation.
