In patients with ischemic heart disease, fascicular conduction disturbances are associated with increased mortality. This study reveals that increased mortality also exists for certain types of fascicular conduction disturbances after myocardial revascularization. In 227 consecutive patients undergoing bypass surgery, 24 had preoperative and an additional 52 developed at surgery a fascicular conduction disturbance. At 66 ± 14 months of follow-up, 6 (4%) of 148 control patients without pre-or postoperative fascicular conduction disturbances had died from cardiac causes. Although right bundle branch block and left hemifascicular block were the most common form of fascicular conduction disturbance, only 1 of 55 of these patients died (p = NS). Mortality rates were much higher for patients with left bundle branch block or an intraventricular conduction defect; 8 (38%) of 21 died from cardiac causes (p < 0.05). |
