Transient left septal fascicular block in a patient with stable effort angina and critical proximal obstruction of left anterior descending coronary artery
Abstract:Several publications from our group and others have shown that a main cause of middle fiber block or left septal fascicular block of the left bundle of His is proximal obstruction of the left anterior descending coronary artery, before its first septal perforator branch, since this fascicle is the only one of the three fascicles irrigated exclusively by this artery.We present a case in which the phenomenon occurred transiently, causing prominent anterior QRS forces, confirmed by coronary angiography.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
