Prognostic profile of fascicular blocks in myocardial infarction.
An analysis of 69 cases of bifascicular and trifascicular types of intraventricular conduction disturbances in myocardial infarction is presented. Complications, caused of death and the follow-up of unpaced cases for a year have been recorded. Pump failure and severe degrees of blocks with consequent ventricular asystole are the important caused of death. Recurrent pump failure with occasional outcome is more common in cases with RBBB and LAH than in other types of blocks.
