Resolution of Symptomatic Intermittent Sinoatrial Exit Block Associated With Unstable Angina Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Bradyarrhythmia commonly occurs because of degenerative fibrosis in the conductive system. Ischemic disease is a rare etiology and limited cases have demonstrated direct evidence of ischemia to the sinus node vessels. We report a 62-year-old Hispanic male with a significant medical history of diabetes mellitus type II (DM II), hypertension, and dyslipidemia who was admitted to our hospital for symptomatic sinoatrial (SA) exit block. Patient had no electrolyte abnormalities and our differential included ischemic vs. fibrotic or infiltrative pathologies, giving symptomatic bradycardia, cardiac chest pain, and high-risk factors for coronary artery disease. We decided to take him for cardiac catheterization which revealed sluggish, pulsatile flow into the SA nodal artery due to severe stenosis of the ostial right coronary along with sever distal left circumflex (LCX) lesion. The flow into the sinus nodal artery (SNA) markedly improved post percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of the right coronary artery (RCA) and distal LCX and restoration of flow into SNA. Resolution of his bradyarrhythmia and symptoms post intervention confirmed our suspicious for reversible ischemic sinus node dysfunctions. Therefore, ischemic pathologies should be thought of when other common etiologies are less likely. Coronary angiogram should be considered prior to pacemaker evaluation in these setting to avoid missing reversible causes of bradyarrhythmia.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
