Abnormal His-Purkinje system conduction leading to complete atrioventricular block in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a report of 3 cases.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This case report describes three hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients with abnormal His-Purkinje conduction and complete atrioventricular block with attacks of syncope and cardiopulmonary arrest. Although arrhythmias are common in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, complete atrioventricular block is very rare. Prolonged QRS duration and abnormal His-Purkinje system conduction may result in complete atrioventricular block.

Studies of heart block with His bundle electrograms.
A total of 24 patients with heart block revealed by scalar electrocardiography was studied using the His bundle electrogram. Four groups of disturbed conduction are described which include various types of heart block, partial and complete, at different sites, single and multiple, in the specialized conducting system. These are (i) intra-atrial block with delayed or blocked internodal conductio...
متن کاملComplete Heart Block in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: A Rare Association.
Ventricular tachyarrhythmias are common in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy that may lead to syncope and sudden death. Bradyarrhythmia such as atrioventricular conduction disturbance, a relatively rare complication associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, may also cause syncope and sudden death in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. We report a 28-year old man who was diagnosed as a case of hypertrophi...
متن کاملSevere cardiac conduction disturbances and pacemaker implantation in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of severe cardiac conduction disturbances in a cohort of 451 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and to describe the characteristics of, and outcomes in, those who required a permanent pacemaker. A pacemaker was implanted in 48 patients (11%): 20 had sinus node dysfunction and 28 had an atrioventricular conduction disturbance. Primar...
متن کاملCoronary morphology and conduction system disturbance induced by therapeutic embolization of the coronary septal artery.
BACKGROUND Percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial alcohol ablation (PTSMAA) is not a procedure without complications. It may produce heart arrhythmias, especially those due to disturbances of atrioventricular (AV) and interventricular (IV) electrical conduction. OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the anatomical patterns of the right coronary artery ...
متن کاملApical Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in a Case with Chest Pain and Family History of Sudden Cardiac Death: A Case Report
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common genetic cardiovascular disease, which is caused by a multitude of mutations in genes encoding proteins of the cardiac sarcomere (1). Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHCM) is an uncommon type of HCM. The sudden cardiac death is less likely to occur in the patients inflicted with AHCM (2). Herein, we presented the case of a 29-year-old man ...
