Case report: Posterior myocardial infarction in presence of right bundle branch block: an old concept with new findings
2018
Background
The diagnosis of acute ischaemic coronary syndromes in presence of an intra-ventricular conduction disturbance represents a clinical challenge. In the cardiac segmentation model the posterior wall is replaced by the basal inferior segment. However, in the clinical scenario of acute coronary syndrome the concept of posterior myocardial infarction (PMI) endures. The association of a PMI and right bundle branch block (RBBB) is a rare condition characterised by broad R waves and ventricular repolarization disorders in right precordial leads in both entities, which could lead to misinterpretation and delay in reperfusion therapy.
