Fascicular conduction distrubances after coronary bypass surgery.
American Journal of Cardiology 1978 May 2
Two hundred patients underogoing coronary bypass graft surgery were studied to determine the frequency and significance fo new fascicular conduction distrubances. The follow-up period ranged from 13 to 39 months. New disturbances developed in 39 patients (20 percent). Isolated right bundle branch block (6 percent) and left anterior hemiblock (6 percent) were the most common disturbances. Righ bundle branch block was usually transient and was not associated with further complications in the follow-up period. However, patients with either transient or persistent left bundle branch block or left anterior hemiblock, or both, had (1) increased later mortality compared with patients without new fascicular conduction disturbances (5 of 26 versus 11 of 161; P less than 0.02), and (2) increased late myocardial infarction (2 of 26 versus 2 of 161; P less than 0.05). New left fascicular conduction disturbances after coronary surgery identified a subset of patients with more extensive ischemic heart disease, suggesting that these patients require close follow-up care.
