Revelation of changing axis deviation at the end of atrial fibrillation during acute myocardial infarction

Abstract

It has been rarely reported changing axis deviation also during atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. Changing axis deviation has been also rarely reported during acute myocardial infarction associated with atrial fibrillation too. We present a case of a 49-year-old Italian man with revelation of changing axis deviation at the end of atrial fibrillation during acute myocardial infarction. Also this case focuses attention on changing axis deviation.

Changing axis deviation and acute myocardial infarction

“…Changing axis deviation has been also rarely reported during acute myocardial infarction [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] associated with atrial fibrillation too [19,20] or at the end of atrial fibrillation during acute myocardial infarction [21]. We present a case of changing axis deviation in a 77-year-old Italian woman admitted to the Cardiology Unit with an acute myocardial infarction.…”

Right bundle branch block with revelation of changing axis deviation at the end of atrial fibrillation

“…Changing axis deviation has been also reported during acute myocardial infarction [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] associated with atrial fibrillation too [24,25] or at the end of atrial fibrillation during acute myocardial infarction [26]. Left bundle branch block is usually associated with normal or left axis deviation [27].…”

Atrial flutter, ventricular tachycardia and changing axis deviation associated with scleroderma

“…Additionally, scleroderma renal crisis and pulmonary hypertension lead to significant cardiac dysfunction secondary to damage in the kidney and lung [4]. Changing axis deviation has been reported [5][6][7][8][9] also during atrial fibrillation [10,11]or atrial flutter [12,13].Changing axis deviation has been also reported during acute myocardial infarction [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] associated with atrial fibrillation too [25,26] or at the end of atrial fibrillation during acute myocardial infarction [27]. We present a case of atrial flutter, ventricular tachycardia and changing axis deviation in a 61-year-old Italian woman with scleroderma.…”
