Key result

A 76-year-old male with anterior STEMI complicated by complete AV block and bifascicular block died after 60 days of hospitalization despite PCI and CRT-D implantation.

Why the study?

Complete atrioventricular block combined with bifascicular block is a rare, critical presentation of anterior STEMI reflecting extensive myocardial damage and proximal LAD occlusion.

Mallol-Simmonds et al. (2025) conducted a case report in Anterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction with complete atrioventricular block (n=1). Anterior STEMI complicated by CAVB and bifascicular block was evaluated on Clinical outcome. A 76-year-old male with anterior STEMI complicated by complete AV block and bifascicular block died after 60 days of hospitalization despite PCI and CRT-D implantation.
