Complete heart block during cardiac catheterization in a normal individual. 1984

C L Baird, and M P Borst, and D L Maxfield

A 44-year-old white male who developed third-degree heart block during cardiac catheterization is presented. Right heart catheterization precipitated bifascicular block, right bundle branch block with left posterior hemiblock, and resulted in third-degree heart block during the left heart procedure. It is recommended that multiple electrocardiographic lead monitoring be considered during cardiac catheterization in order to recognize more easily high-risk conduction disturbances, ie a bifascicular block pattern with frontal plane axis shifts.

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.
