متن کاملRight bundle branch block, right precordial st-segment elevation, and sudden death in young people.
BACKGROUND Patients with the ECG pattern of right bundle branch block and right precordial ST-segment elevation may experience sudden death in the setting of either arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) or a functional electrical disorder such as Brugada syndrome. METHODS AND RESULTS Among a series of 273 young (</=35 years) victims of cardiovascular sudden death who were pro...
متن کاملDiffuse precordial ST-segment elevation in inferior-right myocardial infarction.
A right ventricular (RV) myocardial infarction (MI) may yield precordial ST-segment elevation (STE). Accordingly, combined inferior and precordial STE may be produced during an inferior-RV MI. Such an electrocardiographic picture may be mistakenly regarded as showing wrapped left anterior descending artery (LADA) occlusion or double vessel occlusion. We present a patient with inferior-RV MI and...
متن کاملFamilial cardiomyopathy associated with right bundle branch block, ST segment elevation and sudden death.
OBJECTIVES We sought to assess whether structural heart disease underlies the syndrome of right bundle branch block, persistent ST segment elevation and sudden death. BACKGROUND Ventricular fibrillation and sudden death may occur in patients with a distinctive electrocardiographic (ECG) pattern of right bundle branch block and persistent ST segment elevation in the right precordial leads. M...
متن کامل[Variant Brugada syndrome--mild ST segment elevation in inferior leads and aborted sudden cardiac death].
We describe a case of an otherwise healthy 48-year-old man who survived aborted sudden cardiac death (SCD). His ECG showed ST segment elevation in inferior leads, therefore an acute coronary syndrome was suspected. However, serial troponin T and CPK-MB were negative, echocardiogram was unremarkable and exercise test was negative. On the basis of electrophysiological study, positive ajmaline tes...
