چکیده
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.

Left 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 کاملPrognostic significance of isolated left anterior hemiblock and left axis deviation in the course of acute myocardial infarction.
In 700 patients with acute myocardial infarction admitted to the intensive coronary care unit of our hospital, the incidence and significance of left anterior hemiblock and left axis deviation has been studied in the acute phase of disease. In 102 (14.6%) of the 700 patients, isolated left axis deviation (mean QRS axis-45 degrees) was found and 69 of them (9.9%) met the criteria of left anterio...
متن کاملAcute inferior wall myocardial infarction associated with complete atrioventricular block and left posterior hemiblock.
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.

Background & Objective: Patients with ischemic heart disease classified to two major groups: patients with stable angina and patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). Previous studies showed that posterior segment of left ventricle is a silent segment on ECG, and routine 12 leads electrocardiogram (ECG) is not sensitive for evaluation of posterior infarction. This study designed for evaluati...
متن کاملUnstable Coronary Syndromes
A cute coronary heart disease syndromes, including unstable angina, variant angina (Prinzmetal's angina), and acute myocardial infarction are usually caused by a primary decrease in myocardial oxygen delivery.'-15Both unstable angina and Prinzmetal's angina are caused by a primary reduction in myocardial oxygen delivery, but in all probability, the mechanisms responsible for the decrease in myo...
