A Case With Inferior Wall Myocardial Infarction and Conduction Abnormalities: Addressing the Diagnostic Challenges.

Conduction disturbances are an important complication of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Conduction disturbances such as fascicular blocks and bundle branch blocks are associated with alteration of QRS morphology and secondary ST-T wave changes that can influence the diagnosis of acute myocardial ischemia. We report an interesting case where a patient presented with inferior wall myocardial infarction (MI), right bundle branch block (RBBB), and left anterior hemiblock (LAHB). We discuss the challenges in diagnosing MI in such patients, including the impact of QRS changes in RBBB and LAHB, their influence on diagnosis of STEMI, and differentiation of combined first-degree AV block and bifascicular block from trifascicular block.
