We report a case of isorhythmic atrio‐ventricular dissociation caused by pancuronium. The possible mechanism of the rhythm disorder is discussed and the haemodynamic consequences are described. It will be useful to realise that the circulatory effects of the arrhythmia may be pronounced in patients with decreased cardiovascular reserve.
