Doppler fetal mechanical PR interval prolongation with positive maternal anti-RNP but negative SSA/Ro and SSB/La auto-antibodies.
Prenatal diagnosis, 2010Co-Authors: Ruben J. Acherman, Deborah M. Friedman, Jill P. Buyon, Joel K. Schwartz, William J. Castillo, Robert C. Rollins, William N. EvansAbstract:Cutaneous neonatal lupus can occur with negative SSA/Ro or SSB/La but positive non-SSA/SSB ribonucleoprotein (RNP) maternal autoantibodies (Provost et al., 1987). No fetal-cardiac manifestations, however, have been reported in association with isolated maternal RNP autoantibodies. We report the first association of transient First-Degree Atrioventricular Block (AVB) in a fetus exposed to maternal anti-RNP in the absence of SSA/Ro-SSB/La autoantibodies.

Symptomatic Trifascicular Block in Steinert’s Disease: Is It Too Soon for a Pacemaker?
Case reports in cardiology, 2016Co-Authors: Glenmore Lasam, Gina Lacapra, Roberto Roberti, Roberto RamirezAbstract:We report a case of a 62-year-old male with Steinert's disease who presented with progressive intermittent episodes of lightheadedness five years after he was diagnosed with the disease. On evaluation, he developed a new onset trifascicular Block (first degree Atrioventricular Block, new onset right bundle branch Block, and left anterior fascicular Block). A dual chamber pacemaker was inserted and lightheadedness improved significantly.

Outcomes Related to First-Degree Atrioventricular Block and Therapeutic Implications in Patients With Heart Failure.
JACC. Clinical electrophysiology, 2016Co-Authors: Theodora Nikolaidou, Justin Ghosh, Andrew L. ClarkAbstract:Abstract The prevalence of First-Degree Atrioventricular Block in the general population is approximately 4%, and it is associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation. Cardiac pacing for any indication in patients with First-Degree heart Block is associated with worse outcomes compared with patients with normal Atrioventricular conduction. Among patients with heart failure, First-Degree Atrioventricular Block is present in anywhere between 15% and 51%. Data from cardiac resynchronization therapy studies have shown that First-Degree Atrioventricular Block is associated with an increased risk of mortality and heart failure hospitalization. Recent studies suggest that optimization of Atrioventricular delay in patients with cardiac resynchronization therapy is an important target for therapy; however, the optimal method for Atrioventricular resynchronization remains unknown. Understanding the role of First-Degree Atrioventricular Block in the treatment of patients with heart failure will improve medical and device therapy.

Visualisation of a St Jude prosthetic mitral valve using electron beam tomography.
BMJ case reports, 2009Co-Authors: L H Piers, R Dikkers, P W BoonstraAbstract:A 58-year-old male patient, with a history of mitral valve replacement and coronary artery bypass surgery 10 years earlier, was treated with a cardiac resynchronisation therapy and defibrillator (CRT-D) device because of poor left ventricular function, left bundle branch Block and First-Degree Atrioventricular Block. However, during this procedure a dissection of the …
