Lack of association between left bundle-branch block and acute myocardial infarction in symptomatic ED patients
The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 09/29/09
Chang AM et al. – Despite guideline recommendations that patients with potential ACS and new or presumed new LBBB should be treated similar to STEMI, ED patients with a new or presumed new LBBB are not at increased risk of AMI. In fact, the presence of LBBB, whether new or old, did not predict AMI. Caution should be used in applying recommendations derived from patients with definite AMI to ED patients with potential ACS that may or may not be sustaining an AMI.
