چکیده
A case of inferior wall myocardial infarction (IWMI) with left anterior hemiblock (LAH) is presented. The LAH became type 2:1 in the course of the disease. Electrocardiographic signs of LAH in the presence of IWMI are outlined, and the behavior and etiology of the T-wave changes are analyzed.

Left anterior hemiblock masking inferior myocardial infarction.
A case is presented in which transient left anterior hemiblock masked the electrocardiographic signs of old inferior wall infarction. The electrocardiographic features are correlated with the anatomopathological findings. This case re-emphasizes the need for careful evaluation of patients with chest pain and left anterior hemiblock.
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.
متن کاملMyocardial damage of the entire ventricular region in a patient with acute myocardial infarction
Technetium-99m-pyrophosphate (99mTc-PYP) has been used, in combination with thallium-201, to estimate the site and extent of myocardial infarcts. We report a case of acute myocardial infarction with severe coronary disease in which the distribution of 99mTc-PYP was extensive. A 78-year-old man presented with dyspnea, and a diagnosis of non-ST-segment elevation acute myocar...
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 کاملEvaluation of ejection fraction in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention
Introduction: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a reperfusion strategy to increase life expectancy and ejection fraction (EF) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. We investigated the effect of location, severity, type of lesion, number and type of vessel involved and time of angioplasty on the increase in EF in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI (P-PCI) a...
