Left bundle branch block and myocardial infarction, a diagnosis not always easy: Our experience and review of literature

Sudden death due to cardiac contusion: Forensic implications in a rare pediatric case

“…Both early‐ and late‐onset electrocardiographic abnormalities following blunt chest injuries are common; indeed, they are reported in 40% to 83% of such cases [ 14 ]. Among them, right bundle branch blocks are the most common [ 8 ], even if LBBBs may also occasionally be observed [ 21 ]. They are usually transient and of no clinical significance, although they can sometimes evolve into hemiblocks and, less commonly, third‐degree heart block [ 14 ].…”

Ventricular tachycardia unmasking anterior wall myocardial infarction in a patient with pre-existing left bundle branch block

“…Left bundle branch block (LBBB) pattern in ECG usually masks the evidence of previous myocardial infarctions (MIs) 1. Though several criteria are made to diagnose anterior wall myocardial infarction (AWMI) in patients with LBBB, these are not much helpful due to low sensitivity and specificity 2.…”
