Ventricular standstill complicating cardiac catheterization
Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology : PACE
|January 1, 1987
Abstract:
A patient is described in this paper who developed repeated episodes of ventricular standstill during left heart catheterization. The patient had a resting pattern of right bundle branch block with left anterior fascicular block; subsequent electrophysiology study was normal. Ventricular standstill during catheterization was apparently due to catheter-related trauma of His bundle connections.
