Key result
Third-degree AV block occurred in 20.9% of patients with inferior wall and right ventricular MI, with significantly higher rates in females (73.1% vs 4.8%) and rural residents (39% vs 0%).
Why the study?
Complete atrioventricular block is a significant complication in inferior wall myocardial infarction and right ventricular infarction, making the understanding of its prevalence and demographic determinants essential to optimize clinical management and prognostic evaluation.
What is the frequency of third-degree atrioventricular block in patients with acute inferior wall myocardial infarction and right ventricular infarction?
Cross-Sectional (n=110)
No
What is the frequency of third-degree atrioventricular block in patients with acute inferior wall myocardial infarction and right ventricular infarction?
Third-degree AV block is a frequent complication (20.9%) in patients with inferior wall myocardial infarction and right ventricular infarction, with a notably higher risk in females and rural residents.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May warrant closer monitoring in females and rural residents with inferior RV MI; hypothesis-generating for demographic disparities.
Shah et al. (2025) conducted a cross-sectional in Acute inferior wall myocardial infarction with right ventricular infarction (n=110). Acute inferior wall myocardial infarction with right ventricular infarction was evaluated on Third-degree atrioventricular block. Third-degree AV block occurred in 20.9% of patients with inferior wall and right ventricular MI, with significantly higher rates in females (73.1% vs 4.8%) and rural residents (39% vs 0%).
