Clinical setting and prognostic significance of high degree atrioventricular block in acute inferior myocardial infarction: a study of 144 patients.

abstract：:A dilated cardiomyopathy picture has been produced by rapid atrial and ventricular rates sustained for a long period of time in some patients. The ventricular tachycardias have in some instances been associated with ventricular tumors as the cause of the tachycardia. Once the tumor is removed, the tachycardia stops an...
