Abstract
An asymptomatic elderly male presented with complete right bundle branch block, left anterior fascicular block and Mobitz Type II second degree atrioventricular block. In addition, he was noted to have ventricular premature systoles. Electrophysiologic studies demonstrated two apparently different mechanisms for the second degree A-V block--infra-Hisian block and A-V block due to bundle branch extrasystoles arising in the affected right bundle branch. Concealed conduction of the bundle branch extrasystoles as the proximate cause of infra-Hisian block could not be excluded. However, both forms of A-V block were evidently dependent upon significant distal conduction system disease; this consideration was felt to warrant permanent pacemaker implantation.
