Immunosuppressive patients experience various side effects from their treatment. Cyclosporine is a commonly prescribed immunomodulatory agent with an increasing clinical applications. Although most common documented side effect is nephropathy, it can cause some cardiac side effects. This report presents a rare side effect of cyclosporine; bradycardia attacks in an immunosuppressed patient.
