title: Comparison of results of early reperfusion in patients with inferior wall acute myocardial infarction with and without complete atrioventricular block.
abstract: We investigated the effect of reperfusion in patients with complete atrioventricular block within 6 hours after the onset of inferior wall acute myocardial infarction. Early reperfusion may promote the restoration of normal sinus rhythm and effectively reduce infarct size in these patients.
