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 کاملCocaine and Myocardial Infarctions
he cardiovascular complications of cocaine first emerged as a clinical concern in the early to mid-1980s, a period of skyrocketing nontherapeutic cocaine use. The epidemic was fueled by the increased supply (and the reduced cost) of pure product from South America and by the ease of administration; cocaine became widely available in forms that could be sniffed, smoked, or injected.

متن کاملLeft anterior fascicular block and inferior myocardial infarction.
Total body surface maps obtained from 19 patients with previous inferior myocardial infarction (IMI) were compared with maps obtained from 19 patients with left anterior fascicular block (LAFB) and six more patients in whom electrocardiographic changes were indistinguishable between IMI and LAFB. Three distinguishing features were detected: 1) abnormal high anterior positivity developed both in...
متن کاملSympathetic drive in anterior and inferior uncomplicated acute myocardial infarction.
BACKGROUND The sympathetic activation that follows acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has been associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Because the prognosis after anterior AMI (ant-AMI) is worse than that after inferior AMI (inf-AMI), we planned to determine whether the magnitude of sympathetic hyperactivity differs between the two. METHODS AND RESULTS Thirty-nine patients with unco...
متن کاملCoronary Artery Dominance as a Prognostic Factor: In Anterior Myocardial Infarctions as Well?
We read with interest the article by Abu-Assi et al. on the impact of left coronary dominance on prognosis in the context of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and, in addition to wishing to congratulate the authors for the contribution it represents, as well as on their elegant statistical analysis, we consider it appropriate to put forward certain considerations. Although the availabl...
