We report the case of an immunocompetent patient who presented with symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndrome and was found to be in complete heart block. He re-presented within 2 months with worsening breathlessness and investigations confirmed infiltrative cardiac disease. We describe here an uncommon presentation of primary cardiac lymphoma as acute coronary syndrome and atrioventricular block.
