A Roentgen-anatomic study of the relationships between conduction defects and coronary disease.
Intraventricular conduction defects of various types were correlated to the extent of coronary disease and to the parameters reflecting the function of the left ventricle in 125 patients who had been subjected to coronary arteriography. In the patients with conduction disturbances, coronary disease was found to be more extensive and the proportion of abnormal parameters of left ventricular function higher than in those with normal conduction. The relationship of the various conduction defects with the lesions of the individual coronary branches and with the parameters of left ventricular function are discussed in detail.
