Syncope and paroxysmal atrioventricular block
Current literature reveals three types of paroxysmal atrioventricular block (AVB) that can cause syncope: Intrinsic paroxysmal atrioventricular block is due to an intrinsic disease of the AV conduction system; this type of "cardiac syncope" is also called Stokes-Adams attack; Extrinsic vagal paroxysmal atrioventricular block is linked to the effect of the parasympathetic nervous system on cardi...
متن کاملSyncope Due to Idiopathic Paroxysmal Atrioventricular Block
Results The study group consisted of 9 men and 9 women, mean age 55 19 years, who had recurrent unexplained syncope for 8 7 years and were subsequently followed up for as long as 14 years (4 4 years on average). The patients had no structural heart disease, standard ECG was normal, and electrophysiological study was negative. In all patients, prolonged ECG monitoring documented paroxysmal compl...
متن کاملMyocardial bridging as a cause of acute myocardial infarction: a case report
BACKGROUND Systolic compression of a coronary artery by overlying myocardial tissue is termed myocardial bridging. Myocardial bridging usually has a benign prognosis, but some cases resulting in myocardial ischemia, infarction and sudden cardiac death have been reported. We are reporting a case of myocardial bridging which was complicated with acute myocardial infarction associated with inappro...
متن کاملReverse Wenckebach “pseudo-supernormal” conduction or paroxysmal atrioventricular block
Paroxysmal atrioventricular-block is a poorly-recognized cause of atrioventricular conduction abnormality leading to syncope and can be fatal. Here we report a case of paroxysmal atrioventricular-block presenting as syncope treated effectively with pacemaker implantation and review the current literature on prevalence, known mechanisms and treatment for it. Importantly we provide the diagnostic...
متن کاملAdams-Stokes syndrome caused by paroxysmal third-degree atrioventricular block.
Among I70 patients with Adams-Stokes syndrome, the majority had sinus rhythm between attacks. Clinical and electrocardiographic features of 67 patients in whom syncope was caused by paroxysmal third-degree atrioventricular block are discussed. The patients had normal pulse rates between attacks, their cerebral symptoms were usually not accompanied by cardiac symptoms, and 25 per cent had no sym...
