A patient with an established LBBB suffered an acute septal myocardial infarction complicated with a 2:1 infranodal AV block. ... In an acute septal infarction conduction disturbances usually are progressive; ischemia rarely may induce hypopolarization rise giving to complex, but reversible, phenomena.

Weaning a patient from cardiopulmonary bypass after repair of a postinfarction ventricular septal defect in the face of severe right ventricular failure is likely to be fatal. ... The right ventricular preload was decreased by adding a bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis to the septal rupture repair.
