Proximal His-Purkinje Conduction Defects Due to Peripheral Myocardial Ischemia and Infarction

Intraventricular conduction defects in acute myocardial infarction.

Of 325 consecutive cases with acute myocardial infarction admitted to a coronary care unit, II3 per cent developed one or more intraventricular conduction defects as an early, and often transient complication. The most common Lintraventricular conduction defect was block of the anterior fascicle, followed by complete right bundle-branch block, and by the association of right bundle-branch block...

Conduction disorders in the canine proximal His-Purkinje system following acute myocardial ischemia. I. The pathophysiology of intra-His bundle block.

His-Purkinje conduction during retrograde stress.

The pattern of retrograde His-Purkinje conduction was evaluated in 28 patients using ventricular extrastimuli. In each patient progressive prolongations of His-Purkinje conduction (S2H2) which appeared as ventricular extrastimuli were induced at closer coupling intervals (S1S2). There was an inverse linear relationship of S2H2 to S1S2 which was cycle length-dependent: i.e., at any S1S2 interval...

Acute Anterolateral Myocardial Infarction Due to Aluminum Phosphide Poisoning

Aluminum phosphide (AlP) is a highly effective rodenticide which is used as a suicide poison. Herein, a 24 year-old man who’d intentionally ingested about 1liter of alcohol and one tablet of AlP is reported. Acute myocardial infarction due to AlP poisoning has been occurred secondary to AIP poisoning. Cardiovascular complications are poor prognostic factors in AlP poisoning

Triple-trouble cardiomyopathy: myocardial infarction, diastolic heart failure, and conduction defects due to amyloidosis associated with multiple myeloma.

We believe this is the first reported case of the co-existence of primary amyloidosis in the course of multiple myeloma presenting with cardiac involvement with such a great number of complications observed in one patient. This 57 year-old male, previously not treated, and exhibiting no other risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD), was admitted to our Department on an emergency basis du...
