Tachycardia-dependent second degree AV-block in a patient with right bundle branch block. 1987

D Kalusche, and H Roskamm

A 55-year old male patient, with dizzy spells during everyday activity and a complete right bundle branch block as the sole electrocardiographic abnormality, reproducibly demonstrated tachycardia-dependent Mobitz Type II- and 2:1 second degree atrioventricular block. An electrophysiologic study revealed a provocable block within the distal portion of the bundle of His without evidence of a split His potential. Because of the truly tachycardia-dependent AV-block, beta-blocker medication was initiated to prevent high sinus rates during everyday activity. This therapy abolished symptoms totally.

D011690 Purkinje Fibers Modified cardiac muscle fibers composing the terminal portion of the heart conduction system. Purkinje Fiber,Fiber, Purkinje,Fibers, Purkinje
D002036 Bundle of His Small band of specialized CARDIAC MUSCLE fibers that originates in the ATRIOVENTRICULAR NODE and extends into the membranous part of the interventricular septum. The bundle of His, consisting of the left and the right bundle branches, conducts the electrical impulses to the HEART VENTRICLES in generation of MYOCARDIAL CONTRACTION.

D002037 Bundle-Branch Block A form of heart block in which the electrical stimulation of HEART VENTRICLES is interrupted at either one of the branches of BUNDLE OF HIS thus preventing the simultaneous depolarization of the two ventricles.

D004562 Electrocardiography Recording of the moment-to-moment electromotive forces of the HEART as projected onto various sites on the body's surface, delineated as a scalar function of time. The recording is monitored by a tracing on slow moving chart paper or by observing it on a cardioscope, which is a CATHODE RAY TUBE DISPLAY. 12-Lead ECG,12-Lead EKG,12-Lead Electrocardiography,Cardiography,ECG,EKG,Electrocardiogram,Electrocardiograph,12 Lead ECG,12 Lead EKG,12 Lead Electrocardiography,12-Lead ECGs,12-Lead EKGs,12-Lead Electrocardiographies,Cardiographies,ECG, 12-Lead,EKG, 12-Lead,Electrocardiograms,Electrocardiographies, 12-Lead,Electrocardiographs,Electrocardiography, 12-Lead
D006327 Heart Block Impaired conduction of cardiac impulse that can occur anywhere along the conduction pathway, such as between the SINOATRIAL NODE and the right atrium (SA block) or between atria and ventricles (AV block). Heart blocks can be classified by the duration, frequency, or completeness of conduction block. Reversibility depends on the degree of structural or functional defects.
