Another common etiology of esophageal perforation is esophageal instrumentation, such as during esophagogastroduodenoscopy or transesophageal echocardiography. This life-threatening condition requires prompt diagnosis and treatment to prevent patient demise. While a history of vomiting can aid in diagnosis, this history can be difficult to elicit in an unconscious patient or may be altogether absent. Additionally, Boerhaave's syndrome can present similarly to more common upper gastrointestinal or cardiac conditions. Since mortality increases with delays in diagnosis and treatment, it is imperative that clinicians maintain a high level of suspicion for Boerhaave's syndrome and initiate treatment urgently.</p><p><strong>Case description: </strong>This report presents a 76-year-old man who presented to the emergency department after a history of several syncopal episodes and was found to be in complete heart block.
