Abstract
We present a case of acute decompensated heart failure due to transient left bundle branch block (LBBB) as a consequence of a ramus intermedius (RI) occlusion. A 63-year-old woman was admitted with acute onset of typical chest pain and pulmonary edema, a newly diagnosed LBBB and left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction. A coronary angiogram demonstrated critical stenosis at the osteal segment of RI. After successful coronary revascularization, LBBB was completely resolved, with an improvement in LV systolic function and symptoms. In terms of anatomical blood supply of the left bundle branch, transient LBBB as a consequence of an RI occlusion is unusual.
期刊介绍：
The ANNALS OF NONINVASIVE ELECTROCARDIOLOGY (A.N.E) is an online only journal that incorporates ongoing advances in the clinical application and technology of traditional and new ECG-based techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac patients.
ANE is the first journal in an evolving subspecialty that incorporates ongoing advances in the clinical application and technology of traditional and new ECG-based techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac patients. The publication includes topics related to 12-lead, exercise and high-resolution electrocardiography, arrhythmias, ischemia, repolarization phenomena, heart rate variability, circadian rhythms, bioengineering technology, signal-averaged ECGs, T-wave alternans and automatic external defibrillation.
ANE publishes peer-reviewed articles of interest to clinicians and researchers in the field of noninvasive electrocardiology. Original research, clinical studies, state-of-the-art reviews, case reports, technical notes, and letters to the editors will be published to meet future demands in this field.
