Bradycardia, a condition commonly managed conservatively and, subsequently, with pacemaker implantation presents a unique challenge when coexisting with coronary artery disease (CAD). This case report delves into an unusual scenario where bradycardia and its related symptoms resolved following coronary angioplasty. Our goal is to contribute valuable data to the argument for a comprehensive evaluation of bradycardic patients for underlying CAD prior to considering pacemaker implantation. This approach aims to prevent unnecessary pacemaker implantations and offers insights into the optimal management of patients presenting with both arrhythmia and CAD. The unusual resolution of bradycardia in this case underscores the importance of considering CAD as a possible underlying factor in bradycardic patients, prompting a reevaluation of conventional treatment protocols. By documenting this exceptional case, the authors advocate a more nuanced and individualized treatment strategy in the management of bradycardia, emphasizing the need to assess and address CAD as part of the diagnostic workup.
