Baseline left bundle branch block with right bundle branch escape complexes in a patient with coronary artery disease, presents like an alternating bundle branch block: a case report

چکیده
Alternating bundle branch block (ABBB) is a less commonly encountered phenomenon with the advent of re-perfusion therapy for acute myocardial infarction. ECGs simulating the appearance of an ABBB need to be carefully analysed. We present an ECG showing a baseline Left Bundle Branch Block(LBBB) progressing to a high grade AV block with escape complexes having a Right Bundle Branch Block (RBBB) morphology. Such an ECG can be mistaken for an ABBB if not analysed carefully.

متن کاملCase Report: A life-threatening association of coronary anomalies
Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the right sinus of Valsalva, even though rare, has been documented well in literature. However the association of this anomaly with coronary fistulae has been rarely reported so far. We report the case of a 76-year-old female who presented to us with exertional dyspnoea. General physical and cardiovascular examination revealed no significant abn...
