Objective To investigate the effects of delayed recanalization and thrombolysis on atrioventricular(AV) block in acute inferior myocardial infarction(AIMI).Methods A total of 212 patients, including 30 patients(group A)who underwent delayed recanalization of infarct-related artery (IRA) by PTCA within 12～18 hours after onset, 50 patients(group B) who received intravenous thrombolytic therapy within 12 hours of AIMI onset, 132 patients(group C) with AIMI who received conventional therapy, were enrolled in this study.Results In group A, the occurrence of AV block was decreased significantly (26.7% vs 6.7%, P0.01) at 24 hours after delayed recanalization of IRA by PTCA; in group B, the occurrence rate of A-V block was also decreased significantly(24.0% vs 6.0%, P0.01) at 24 hours after thrombolytic therapy; while in group C, 28.8% patients presented A-V block at 24 hours after admission. The occurrence of AV block was significantly lower in group A than in group C(6.7% vs 28.8%, P0.01). Compared with group C, the inpatient mortality rate in group A was also decreased by 6.5% (3.3% vs9.8%,PO.05).Conclusion The delayed recanalization of IRA by PTCA within 12～48 hours after the onset of AIMI can reduce the incidence of A-V block and probably decrease the in-hospital mortality rate.
