Am J Cardiol. 1999; 84: 731-733 Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (10) Google Scholar previously reported that patients with reperfused inferior wall acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who had complete atrioventricular block (CAVB) within 6 hours after symptom onset had a similar infarct size despite a larger ischemic area than those without CAVB, but could not explain the mechanism responsible for this outcome.
