Abstract:Atrioventricular block is a common complication of acute inferior wall myocardial infarction. Both of left and right coronary artery disease can lead to inferior wall myocardial infarction. Since coronary artery supplies blood flow to different sites and areas of myocardium, the degree and scope of myocardial infarction resulted from artery lesions are also different, corresponding to various ECG manifestations. Abundant clinical experience and electrocardiographic knowledge help to identify the infarction related coronary artery and determine the sites of occlusion(proximal end, middle or distal end) and also help to work out a reasonable emergency reperfusion therapy to save patients lives.
