Complete heart block during cardiac catheterization in a normal individual.

C L Baird, M P Borst, D L Maxfield

    Catheterization and Cardiovascular Diagnosis
    |January 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Cardiac catheterization can cause serious heart block complications. Continuous electrocardiographic monitoring is recommended to detect high-risk conduction disturbances during the procedure.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Electrophysiology

    Background:

    • Cardiac catheterization is a common diagnostic procedure.
    • Conduction disturbances can occur during cardiac catheterization.

    Observation:

    • A 44-year-old male developed third-degree heart block during cardiac catheterization.
    • Right heart catheterization initially caused bifascicular block (right bundle branch block with left posterior hemiblock).
    • Third-degree heart block occurred during the left heart catheterization procedure.

    Findings:

    • Bifascicular block and frontal plane axis shifts are high-risk patterns.
    • These patterns can precede complete heart block.

    Implications:

    • Continuous electrocardiographic monitoring is crucial during cardiac catheterization.
