Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The histories of 117 patients with left axis deviation and complete right bundle branch block (rbbb) on the electrocardiogram were reviewed for evidence of clinical cardiac disease, hypertension or emphysema. One hundred fifty-four patients with complete right bundle branch block alone served as controls. The incidence of coronary artery disease (myocardial infarction or angina) was significantly greater in the group with pronounced left axis deviation; the other factors evaluated showed no significant difference between the two groups. Pronounced left axis deviation of the mean qrs axis is associated with a high prevalence of clinical coronary artery disease. The presence of complete right bundle branch block does not alter their relationship. Some patients with complete rbbb, or with rbbb and pronounced left axis deviation, have no clinical evidence of heart disease. |
