Résumé
Advanced interatrial block (IAB) (P-wave ≥120 ms and biphasic P-wave in leads II, III and aVF) is a prevalent ECG pattern frequently associated with supraventricular arrhythmias and stroke, especially in patients with structural heart disease. Intermittent IAB is a much more poorly defined electrocardiographic entity with uncertain clinical significance. In this case series, we review and analyze eight cases of second degree intermittent IAB. In six cases, there is normalization of advanced IAB after a premature supraventricular or ventricular contraction, suggesting a functional block that temporarily recovers post extra-systolic pause. Recognition of intermittent IAB (second degree) may help further characterize the prognostic and clinical implications of this ECG pattern.
