Abstract:
:Following electrocardiographic analysis, isolated or combined blocks in the intraventricular trifascicular system including predivisional left bundle branch block with left posterior hemiblock in Nigerians are presented and the underlying causes reviewed. The rarity of complete heart block, despite the not uncommon fascicular blocks, is of interest and may be related to the population age structure considering the invariably slow rate of degeneration of conduction fibres in the system.

CARDIOLOGY文献大全abstract:BACKGROUND:Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a life-threatening event with a broad presentation spectrum ranging from asymptomatic cases to sudden cardiac arrest. It is unclear if right atrial emboli cause PE in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) or if mild PE itself increases right cardiac pressure provoking AF. OBJECTI...
