A 63‐year‐old woman with heterozygous Fabry's disease, sick sinus syndrome, sinus pauses, congestive heart failure, syncope, and a dynamic pressure gradient between the left ventricle and systemic arteries underwent implantation of a dual chamber (DDD) pacemaker. Following pacemaker implantation, the pressure gradient has been reduced and congestive heart failure controlled for the past 3 years.
