Four cases of right-sided bundle-branch block and one case of atrioventricular block in three generations of a family.

چکیده
Four cases of complete right bundle-branch block and one case of atrioventricular heart block, all occurring within three generations of the same family, are described. The 4 patients with bundle-branch block had no symptoms, whereas the patient with atrioventricular heart block suffered Adams-Stokes attacks from the age of 13 and died at 47 years of age. A 33-year-old man with bundle-branch block had a normal electrocardiogram at the age of 7, suggesting that inherited bundle-branch block does not necessarily manifest itself during the first years of life.

Congenital Familial Cardiac Conduction Defects.
THE familial occurrence of conduction system disturbances has been reported infrequently in medical literature. Morquio, in 1901,1 reported clinical signs of impaired atrioventricular conduction in five boys in a family of eight children. There was no evidence of consanguinity and the defect did not occur in immediate ancestors nor in collateral branches of the family. In 1903, Sir William Osle...
متن کاملHistopathology of Heart Block Complicating
Histopathological studies of the conduction system were related to His bundle electrogram recordings in seven patients with acute myocardial infarction and atrioventricular (A-V) conduction disturbances. The three patients with inferior infarctions had normal width QRS complexes and delay or block of the impulses above the His bundle. Recent ischemic changes were present in the A-V node in two ...
متن کاملCorrelation of the width of the QRS complex with the pathologic anatomy of the cardiac conduction system in patients with chronic complete atrioventricular block.
A study correlating the electrocardiographic findings and the histology of the atrioventricular (AV) conduction system was carried out in 14 cases with chronic complete AV block and in 13 cases without chronic complete AV block. Patients with chronic complete AV block were divided into two groups, based on the width of the QRS complex. The QRS complexes were narrow (less than 0.12 second) in fo...
متن کاملPossible association between anti-Ro antibodies and myocarditis or cardiac conduction defects in adults with systemic lupus erythematosus.
In view of the association of congenital heart block with maternal antibody to cellular antigen Ro (SSA), and one report linking anti-Ro with myocarditis in a patient with myositis an association between anti-Ro antibodies and cardiac disease was sought in adults with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Among 67 patients with SLE, of whom 36 were anti-Ro positive, a significantly higher prevale...
متن کاملIntraventricular conduction defects in acute myocardial infarction.
Of 325 consecutive cases with acute myocardial infarction admitted to a coronary care unit, II3 per cent developed one or more intraventricular conduction defects as an early, and often transient complication. The most common Lintraventricular conduction defect was block of the anterior fascicle, followed by complete right bundle-branch block, and by the association of right bundle-branch block...
