    This study presents a patient with complete atrioventricular block, pinpointing the His bundle as the block location. The findings reveal progressive conduction impairment and left anterior hemiblock, both originating from His bundle lesions.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Electrophysiology
    • Cardiac Electrophysiology

    Background:

    • Atrioventricular block (AV block) is a condition affecting the heart's electrical conduction system.
    • His bundle electrography is crucial for localizing the site of AV block.
    • Left anterior hemiblock (LAHB) is a common conduction abnormality.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with complete atrioventricular block and a normal QRS complex.
    • Preceding electrocardiograms showed features of LAHB and progressive atrioventricular conduction impairment.
    • His bundle electrogram localized the block to the His bundle itself.

    Findings:

    • The study inferred that His bundle lesions caused both the AV block and LAHB.
    • The normal QRS complex post-block indicated intact bundle branches and fasciculi.

  • The subsidiary pacemaker was located distal to the His bundle lesions.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the His bundle as a critical site for complex conduction abnormalities.
    • Understanding His bundle function is key to diagnosing and managing AV block and hemiblocks.
    • Accurate electrophysiological assessment aids in determining the origin and prognosis of cardiac conduction disorders.
