“…In such instances, further investigation with cardiac biomarkers and/or echocardiography is warranted. 11 In our case, the patient developed features of LBBB with chest pain on the 7th day of admission. This ECG finding reverted to normal the next day.…”
Acute pancreatitis presenting with chest pain and left bundle branch block can mimic acute myocardial infarction, necessitating careful differentiation through serial ECGs and echocardiography to avoid unwarranted thrombolytic therapy.

“…Cardiac memory is not pathognomonic of transient BBB and known in ventricular tachycardia, ventricle pacing and intermittent ventricle pre-excitation. [ 1 8 ]…”
“…If clinical findings and ECG support the diagnosis of STEMI or STEMI equivalents, 86 the local STEMI pathway is activated. For a primary percutaneous coronary intervention centre (PPCI), the recommended “door-to-needle” time is ≤ 90 minutes; for non-PPCI centres, it is < 120 minutes.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
