“…Even though the global incidence of type I PFHB is unclear, this disease may not be confined to South Africa only. There are a very few reports on familial tendency of bradyarrhythmia in Koreans 8). This would be the first report of type I PFHB case documented in Koreans.…”

Progressive Familial Heart Block Type I in a Korean Patient

et al. 2011

A 29-year-old man was referred to the emergency department with a complaint of abdominal pain and dizziness. He had experienced two previous syncopal episodes. His family history revealed that his mother and his two uncles had received permanent pacemaker implantation. His initial heart rate was 49 beats per minute. The electrocardiography (ECG) showed atrial flutter and right bundle branch block (RBBB) with left anterior fascicular block (LAFB). On admission, 24-hour Holter showed ventricular pause up to 16 seconds during syncope. Radio frequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of atrial flutter was performed. The ECG revealed bifascicular block (RBBB and LAFB) and first-degree atrioventricular block. He received a permanent pacemaker implantation. His brother's and his sister's ECGs also showed trifascicular block and the pedigree showed autosomal dominant inheritance. This patient was diagnosed with a progressive familial heart block (PFHB) type I. This would be the first report of a PFHB type I case documented in Korea.

We report a case of trifascicular block with hyperkalemia, due to a familial heart block and/or hyperkalemia. The patient's symptoms and electrocardiogram (ECG) evidence of trifascicular block resolved with correcting serum potassium level. This patient was also diagnosed with a progressive familial heart block (PFHB) type I. This would be the first report of a PFHB type I documented in Iran; this paper highlights an infrequently reported dysrhythmia associated with hyperkalemia which emergency physicians should be familiar with.

Two Cases of an Implantation of a Permanent Pacemaker Using a Transaxillary Incision

et al. 2008

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In surgeries that require the implantation of a pacemaker, the endocardial pacemaker leads are introduced into the cardiac chambers through subclavian or axillary venous catheterization or cephalic vein cutdown. The drawback of this type of surgery is scarring of the pectoral area, which can be a serious cosmetic problem especially for young women. In this study, we report on 2 cases where a permanent pacemaker in two young women with symptomatic bradycardia was implanted using a transaxillary incision. Both patients successfully recovered with no complications and were asymptomatic for more than 17 months after the procedure. Therefore, we found that implantation of a pacemaker via transaxillary incision provided excellent cosmetic results and should be considered in young women that require this type of surgery.
