In the thrombolytic era, the development of bundle branch block or complete atrioventricular block during acute myocardial infarction remains associated with a significantly increased risk of in-hospital mortality.

Conduction blocks during AMI signal high in-hospital mortality; supports risk stratification but leaves open whether targeted interventions improve outcomes.
Escosteguy et al. (2001) studied this question.
