“…Histologische Untersuchungen bei Patienten, die zu Lebzeiten einen Block im His-Purkinje-System aufweisen, zeigen eine ausgedehnte, diffuse Schädigung der Purkinje-Fasern bis weit in die Peripherie hinein [3,11,12]. [19].…”

“…Im Falle eines AV-Blocks III. Grades im His-Purkinje-System droht nicht selten die Synkope, da das Ersatzzentrum diffus und massiv geschädigt ist[11,12]. Dieser Umstand erklärt die sehr niedrigen Frequenzen des tertiären Ersatzzentrums[2].…”

“…O u r contention is that the heart block was most probably due to radiation myocarditis or injury to the small vessels supplying the distal parts of the conduction system, known to be maximally affected in all forms of myocardiopathy. 28 Whether the progression of bifascicular block to complete heart block in the first patient was related to the initiation of corticosteroid therapy, or occured spontaneously, as suggested by the two previous fainting episodes, is open to conjecture. Enhancement of conduction through the atrioventricular node by corticosteroids has been reported by several investigators; 1,13,20.39,40,43 h owever, deleterious effects of long-term corticosteroid therapy o n the cardiovascular system have been also frequently described, 2,3,4,8,14,24,26, 49 It is possible that some of the undesirable effects of corticosteroids, such as hypercoagulability, l 2 sodium potassium imbalance,6,'6 or others, have deleterious effects on distal Conduction through the bundle branches.…”

Pericardial effusion and trifascicular block developed 5 years following me-diastinal irradiation for Hodgkin's disease in a 19-year-old patient. Another 24-year-old patient had an acute myocardial infarction followed by severe angina pectoris 5 years following mediastinal irradiation for the same disease. A pericardial window and a permanent demand pacemaker were used in the first case; an aorto-coronary vein grafting was utilized in the second patient. Both patients responded to treatment and are well. Five other previously reported cases of myocardial injury that occurred 2 months to 8 years following medias-tinal irradiation in young patients were reviewed. To our knowledge, successful surgical treatment of this disease entity has not been reported before. Close, long-term follow-up of patients who have received mediastinal irradiation should be helpful in the early recognition and successful management of these serious cardiac complications. The systematic clinical and radiographic surveillance of these patients should be supplemented by a routine 12-lead elec-trocardiogram.

“…8e13 Uemura et al 14 revealed that 6% of humans with AVB had evidence of lymphocytic myocarditis, which may initiate subsequent fibrofatty tissue replacement of the AV node. 6,15 In 17% of people with biopsy-proven myocarditis, AVB is the presenting complaint. 16 Unlike a degenerative process of the AV node, myocarditis is rarely isolated to the conduction system and simultaneously affects the surrounding myocardium.…”
