This case report highlights a rare presentation of left bundle branch block and complete heart block complicating an inferior myocardial infarction that required permanent pacing.
Alerts clinicians to rare conduction complications after inferior MI; leaves open questions on incidence and management.
Left bundle branch block following inferior myocardial infarction remains uncommon and scarcely reported in the literature. We describe a rare presentation of a 58-year-old male patient who developed left bundle branch block and third degree atrioventricular block after inferior myocardial infarction requiring permanent pacemaker placement. Pathophysiology, impact on mortality, and management options are discussed.
