We present a unique case of EM with two distinct phases: the first marked by severe LV impairment resolving with immunosuppression; the second characterized by atrial cardiomyopathy leading to persistent symptomatic sinus arrest necessitating permanent pacing. Close follow-up of EM after initial remission is essential to monitor for further complications including heart failure and arrhythmias.
