A rare cause of trauma in the elderly: Mobitz type-II second-degree atrioventricular block.

چکیده
Cardiac rhythm problems are frequently seen in the geriatric population, and they can experience trauma after syncope. A 78-year-old female was examined for thoracic trauma after falling. With a history of beta-blocker use, arterial blood pressure measured 60/30 mmHg and pulse rate was 30 bpm. Electrocardiogram showed a Mobitz type-II second-degree atrioventricular block. There was no response to atropine, so a transcutaneous external pacemaker and after that a transvenous pacemaker were applied. On the 4th day, the pacemaker was removed and the patient was discharged.

Second-degree Atrioventricular (Mobitz 1) Heart Block in a 52-hour-old Newborn: A Very Rare Case Report
Background: Cardiac conduction disorders are rare syndromes in neonates and children. According to the literature atrial septal defect, especially ostium secundum type, is associated with atrioventricular (AV) block. Wenckebach conduction heart block is very rare in a neonate; however, there is a dearth of research on the prevalence of this type of heart block regarding the neonates and pediatr...
متن کاملWoldemar Mobitz and His 1924 classification of second-degree atrioventricular block.
Woldemar Mobitz, an early 20th century German internist, analyzed arrhythmias by graphing the relationship of changing atrial rates and premature beats to AV conduction. Through an astute mathematical approach, he was able to classify second-degree atrioventricular block into 2 types, subsequently referred to as Mobitz type I (Wenckebach) and Mobitz type II (Hay). Type I AV block was most often...
متن کاملSecond-degree atrioventricular block type II and third-degree atrioventricular block requiring cardiac pacing after tooth extraction
Because atrioventricular block can cause cardiovascular collapse, the rapid management of this condition is necessary. An 82-year-old man complained of discomfort after tooth extraction, and electrocardiography showed second- and third-degree atrioventricular blocks. Dentists should monitor patients who report discomfort using electrocardiography because of the possibility of life-threatening a...
متن کاملAmbulatory electrocardiographic recording in endurance athletes.
Data from ambulatory electrocardiographic recording in 35 highly trained endurance athletes and in 35 non-athletic controls of similar ages are given. The minimal, mean hourly, and maximal heart rates were significantly lower in the athletes. Thirteen athletes (37 . 1%) but only two controls (5 . 7%) had sinus pauses exceeding 2 . 0 seconds. First degree atrioventricular block was observed in 1...
متن کاملUnusual origin of type 1 atrioventricular block with comments on Wenckebach's contribution.
We present a case that demonstrates the rare occurrence of type 1 second-degree atrioventricular block (Wenckebach or Mobitz type 1 block) as a result of block in the infranodal conduction system. This extremely rare occurrence often predicts progression to complete heart block and necessitates cardiac pacing. It also demonstrates the value of an electrophysiological study and exercise stress t...
