2. 1. On Bundle Branch Block and Acute Myocardial Infarction

   Author : Gunnar Thor Gunnarsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Acute myocardial infarction; left bundle branch block; right bundle branch block; diagnosis; prognosis; continuous vectorcardiography;

   Abstract : Studies from the pre-thrombolytic era showed that patients with bundle branch block suffering acute myocardial infarction had worse prognosis compared to patients without bundle branch block. It seems that this difference still exists in the thrombolytic era, at least for short-term mortality. READ MORE

4. 2. Morbidity and mortality in patients with bundle branch block

   Author : Fariborz Tabrizi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : AV block; Bifascicular block; Congestive heart failure; Bundle branch block; Mortality; Myocardial infarction; Sudden cardiac death; Syncope.;

   Abstract : Background: Syncope is a predictor of subsequent high-degree atrioventricular (AV) block in patients with bifascicular block (BFB) but the time relationship between syncope and development of AV block has not been well-studied. Patients with BFB have a significantly higher mortality rate compared with an age and sex matched population. READ MORE

6. 4. Noninvasive characterization of patients with monomorphic ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation using the signal-averaged electrocardiogram. A study on late potentials and spectral turbulence in patients with ischemic heart disease and in healthy subjects

   Author : Christer Gottfridsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; signal-averaged ECG; ventricular tachycardia; ventricular fibrillation; late potentials; spectral turbulence; bundle branch block;

   Abstract : Many people die suddenly from sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmias caused by ischemic heart disease, and the sudden death may be the first presentation of heart disease. If the patients at risk of ventricular tachyarrhythmia could be identified, some patients may be saved. READ MORE

7. 5. Electrocardiographic characterization of myocardial scar in presence of conduction abnormality

   Author : Björn Wieslander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Presence, extent and localization of myocardial scar constitute prognostic clinical information that can influence therapeutical decisions. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging with late gadolinium enhancement (CMR-LGE) is the preferred method to image myocardial scar in vivo but is resource intensive and has contraindications.
