Özet

To determine the immediate and remote prognostic significance of bundle branch block (BBB) associated with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), 40 patients with AMI and BBB were studied. One hundred forty-four patients with AMI but without BBB were evaluated during the in-hospital phase and 45 of them were taken as a control group. These patients were followed for an average of 15 months (3-28 months). Arrhythmias and left ventricular function were investigated with 24-hr Holter monitoring and echocardiography, respectively.
