Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Paroxysmal atrioventricular block has been reported in patients without acute coronary syndrome and without significant coronary artery stenosis, in patients with acute coronary syndrome and without significant coronary artery stenosis, in patients without acute coronary syndrome and with significant coronary artery stenosis and in patients with acute coronary syndrome and significant coronary artery stenosis. Conflicting roles for alternating periods of second degree atrioventricular block (also known as Mobitz I or Luciani-Wenckebach periodicity) have been reported. Both hypotheses have been reported, that paroxysmal Wenckebach periods are compatible with a benign prognosis and that paroxysmal Wenckebach periods are associated with hemodynamic deterioration. We present a case of paroxysmal Mobitz Type-I atrioventricular block Luciani-Wenckebach conduction in a 75-year-old Italian man with acute myocardial infarction and severe three vessels coronary artery disease.
