Acute inferior wall myocardial infarction associated with complete atrioventricular block and left posterior hemiblock.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three cases of acute inferior wall myocardial infarction associated with complete atrioventricular block and junctional escape rhythm showing left posterior hemiblock are presented. The triad appears to consitiute a distinct syndrome. It is postuated that the subsidiary pacemaker is situated either in the bundle of His or the proximal part of the anterior division of the left bundle-branch.

Transient left posterior hemiblock during Prinzmetal's angina culminating in acute myocardial infarction.
A 49-year-old man had transient left posterior hemiblock during Prinzmetal's angina with inferior ST-segment elevations; subsequently, left posterior hemiblock reappeared associated with acute inferior myocardial infarction. The electrocardiographic and electrophysiologic aspects of these findings are discussed.
متن کاملLeft posterior hemiblock in acute myocardial infarction.
Fifteen cases of left posterior hemiblock associated with acute myocardial infaction were studied. In 5 cases the left posterior hemiblock was the only intraventricular conduction defect, while in the other 10 cases it was associated with complete right bundle-branch block. Left posterior hemiblock proved to be an early complication, appearing within a few hours from the onset of the acute epis...
متن کاملIncidence and significance of left anterior hemiblock complicating acute inferior wall myocardial infarction.
The hospital course and serial vectorcardiograms of 56 consecutive patients with acute inferior wall myocardial infarction were reviewed. Left anterior hemiblock (LAH) complicating inferior wall myocardial infarction was diagnosed by vectorcardiographic criteria. Seven patients (12.5%) developed LAH between the first and third hospital day, while 49 patients did not. There was no significant di...
متن کاملLong-term prognosis after acute anterior infarction with atrioventricular block.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the need for permanent pacing in patients who have survived the effects of anterior myocardial infarction with complete heart block and have returned to sinus rhythm but who are left with impairment of intraventricular conduction. We have reviewed 52 patients with complete heart block complicating recent anterior myocardial infarction. Temporary pacing ...
متن کاملLeft anterior hemiblock obscuring the diagnosis of right bundle branch block in acute myocardial infarction.
Thirty cases in which transient left anterior hemiblock (LAHB) obscured the diagnosis of right bundle branch block (RBBB) appearing during the first days of an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are presented. Twenty-eight of the patients with AMI had a clear septal wall involvement, while the remaining two had an anterolateral and lateral wall AMI, respectively. These intraventricular conductio...
