Overview
Second-degree heart block or complete heart block (CHB) is a relatively frequent complication of acute inferior wall myocardial infarction (AIWMI). This study investigated whether the PercuSurge device can prevent procedure-related CHB or can shorten CHB recovery time in patients with AIWMI undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Primary prevention
- Pacemaker implantations as a treatment for atrioventricular (AV) block are increasing worldwide. Prevention strategies for AV block are lacking because modifiable risk factors have not yet been identified[1].
