Paradoxical heart rate response after atropine sulfate administration in total atrioventricular block complicating acute myocardial infarction: A case report

Advanced atrioventricular block in acute myocardial infarction.

Heart block complicating acute inferior wall myocardial infarction.

Heart block was noted in 60 (35 complete and 25 second-degree) of 410 patients with acute inferior wall myocardial infarction. This group with heart block was compared to a control group of 30 patients with acute inferior wall infarction without heart block. The incidences of prior myocardial infarction and hypertension, in addition to the highest level of serum creatine phosphokinase and a max...

Acute Myocardial Infarction Complicating Active Ulcerative Colitis: A Case Report

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory disease that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal (GI) tract but can involve extraintestinal organs including musculoskeletal system and skin. The most frequent cardiac manifestations of UC are pericarditis and myocarditis. Patients display an increased risk for venous thromboembolic complications and mesenteric ischemia, but the associati...

Complete Atrioventricular Block Complicating Acute Myocardial Infarction in the Thrombolytic Era

RESULTS During the 1990s, the incidence of CAVB was 3.7% compared with 5.3% in the 1980s, p 5 0.0007. In the 1990s, mortality of patients with CAVB was significantly higher than in those without CAVB at 7 days (odds ratio [OR] 5 4.05 95% CI [confidence interval] 2.34 to 6.82, 30 days OR 5 3.98 [95% CI 2.44 to 6.43] and one-year hazard ratio [HR] 5 2.36, [95% CI 1.68 to 3.30]) and similar in thr...
