COMPLETE HEART BLOCK IN AWMI: REVASCULARISATION OR PACEMAKER IMPLANTATION

Kalyan Munde, Rohit Rai, Shakil Shaikh, Aditya Gupta

Abstract


Complete heart block can be either congenital or acquired. Among acquired causes common ones are drugs, degenerative diseases, infectious causes, rheumatic diseases, infiltrative processes, neuromuscular disorders, ischemic causes, metabolic causes,toxins and iatrogenic causes. RCA occlusion has high incidence of AV block which resolves promptly after revascularization. AV block in the setting of LAD territory occlusion has a more ominous prognosis. We revascularized LAD and prevented the implantation of Pacemaker

Keywords
