Abstract
Polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal gammopathy, and skin changes (POEMS) is a multiorgan syndrome with rare and heterogenous cardiac manifestations. We present the case of a man with pericardial effusion complicated by cardiac tamponade, new onset atrial fibrillation, and high-degree atrioventricular block leading to a diagnosis of POEMS syndrome. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
