Pak Heart J Jan ;43(1):17-9.

The association of cholestatic jaundice and bradycardia is widely accepted. Several reports have documented a variety of arrhythmias including sinus bradycardia and cardiac asystole in patients with fulminant hepatitis. However the exact mechanism by which jaundice leads to development of bradycardia is still not known even after hundred years of publication of a land mark study in this connection by John. H. King in 1909. We report a case of severe bradycardia associated with fulminant Hepatitis E in a post-partum lady with review of literature.
