Prognostic importance of complete atrioventricular block complicating acute myocardial infarction
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Third-degree atrioventricular block after acute myocardial infarction is considered to have prognostic importance. However, its importance in conjunction with thrombolytic therapy and its relation to left ventricular function remains uncertain. This report also outlines an important distinction between atrioventricular block in the setting of anterior and inferior wall acute myocardial infarction, with profound clinical and prognostic implications.
