Left and right ventricular function in inferior acute myocardial infarction and significance of advanced atrioventricular block

Of 139 consecutive patients with a first inferior acute myocardial infarction, 26 (19%) had advanced atrioventricular (AV) block and 113 (81%) did not. All were evaluated by 2-dimensional echocardiography (2-D echo) and radionuclide angiography. Patients with advanced AV block had lower radionuclide...
