A rare form of trifascicular block with intermittent complete atrioventricular block in a patient with Chagas disease.

Francisco Femenia1, Alejandro Cuesta, Arce Mauricio.   

Abstract

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.
