Adenosine is extensively utilized in myocardial stress perfusion imaging for the detection and risk stratification of coronary artery disease. It has a well-established safety profile. The majority of the undesirable effects experienced during adenosine infusion are transient (owing to its brief half-life of ~10 s) and arise from the stimulation of receptors in the atrio-ventricular (AV) node (AV block) and bronchial smooth muscles (bronchospasm).

Introduction: Although myocardial injury is common after blunt chest trauma, tricuspid valve injury associated with traumatic atrial septal defect resulting in acute hypoxia is an infrequent event. We report an unusual case of blunt chest trauma referred to us for unexplained hypoxemia, emphasizing the unusual nature of injury and the importance of comprehensive cardiac evaluation in such cases.

Transient Left Bundle Branch Block Induced Acute Heart Failure as a Consequence of Ramus Intermedius Occlusion.

Ann Noninvasive Electrocardiol

January 2025

Department of Cardiology, Siyami Ersek Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Center, Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Türkiye.

Article Synopsis
  • A 63-year-old woman experienced acute heart failure linked to a temporary left bundle branch block (LBBB) caused by an occlusion in the ramus intermedius artery.
  • She was admitted with severe chest pain and pulmonary edema, which led to the diagnosis of LBBB and reduced left ventricular function.
  • Following a successful coronary angioplasty to clear the stenosis in the ramus intermedius, her LBBB resolved, and her heart function and symptoms improved significantly.
