a rare form of Trifascicular Block with intermittent complete atrioventricular Block in a patient with chagas disease
Cardiology Journal, 2009Co-Authors: Francisco Femenia, Alejandro Cuesta, Arce MauricioAbstract:Trifascicular Block, which consists of impaired conduction in the three main fascicles of the ventricular conduction system, may progress to high-grade or complete atrioventricular Block. Exceptionally, it is possible to register in the same patient paroxysmal alternating atrioventricular Block and bilateral bundle branch Block. This is the electrocardiogram of a male, 60 year-old patient coming from an endemic area, with positive serology for Chagas disease, with the exclusively dromotropic form (there are no signs of cardiac muscle involvement), manifest by repetitive pre-syncope and syncope episodes.

Kearns–Sayre syndrome associated with Trifascicular Block and QT prolongation
International Journal of Cardiology, 2005Co-Authors: Pavlos Karanikis, Panagiotis Korantzopoulos, Evaggelos Kountouris, Vasiliki Dimitroula, Dimitrios Patsouras, Eugenia Pappa, Konstantinos SiogasAbstract:Patients suffering from Kearns-Sayre syndrome (KSS) often develop conduction defects that may lead to syncope or sudden cardiac death. The association of conduction abnormalities with prolonged QT interval in these patients is very rare. We describe a patient with KSS and diabetes mellitus who suffered a torsades de pointes-induced syncopal attack, in the presence of Trifascicular Block and QT prolongation (QTc: 574 ms). The patient was successfully treated with permanent pacing. This case highlights that torsades de pointes represents a potential mechanism of syncope or sudden cardiac death in patients with KSS.
