Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Patients with acute inferior myocardial infarction (IMI) and complete atrioventricular block (CAVB) have a wide range of mortality rate. This raises the question whether there is no other risk factor that interferes in this particular situation. In our study, mortality rate in patients with acute IMI and CAVB was significantly greater than in patients without conduction disturbance, but the occurrence of right ventricle myocardial infarction (RVMI) enhanced the mortality rate regardless of the presence or absence of CAVB.
