Abstract
The relationship between uric acid levels and cardiovascular disease has been known since the 19th century and many reports do exist in the literature that show the association of increased uric acid levels with gout, hypertension, obesity and cardiovascular disease. However, atrioventricular block was rarely reported in relation with, which can usually be resolved with antiinflamatory and uric acid lowering therapies.

Atrioventricular conduction improved after antiinflamatory and uric acid lowering therapy in our patient and the patient did not require a permanent pacemaker.
