Abstract

We report a patient having exercise-induced left bundle-branch block found to have normal coronary arteries and slow coronary flow on angiogram. The association of exercise induced left bundle branch block with slow coronary flow in angiography has not been previously reported.

Keywords

Left bundle branch block, slow coronary flow, exercise electrocardiography

Yavaş koroner akımlı bir hastada egzersize bağlı gelişen sol dal bloğu: Olgu sunumu

Abstract

Bu vaka raporunda normal koroner arterler ve yavaş koroner akıma sahip bir hastada egzersiz testi sırasında gelişen sol dal bloğu sunulmuştur. Bildiğimiz kadarıyla anjiografide koroner yavaş akım ile egzersizle indüklenen sol dal bloğu birlikteliği daha önce rapor edilmemiştir.

Keywords

Sol dal bloğu, koroner yavaş akım, egzersiz elektrokardiyografi
