Alternating Wenckebach periods with acute myocardial infarction. Report of two cases

G Vasudevan, P Brostoff and MA Varat

This report describes two patients with the spontaneous occurrence of alternating Wenckebach periods during the course of acute myocardial infarction. Both patients demonstrated alternating Wenckebach periods which terminated in a sequence of two blocked P waves. In one patient, His bundle electrocardiographic study documented the site of block to be proximal to the His bundle. Alternating Wenckebach periods with the block proximal to the His bundle may be compatible with a benign prognosis.
