Int J Cardiol. 2011 Aug 18;151(1):e1-3. doi: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2009.03.013. Epub 2009 Apr 1.

Abstract

Changing axis deviation has been rarely reported also during atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. Changing axis deviation has been also rarely reported during acute myocardial infarction associated with atrial fibrillation too or at the end of atrial fibrillation during acute myocardial infarction. We present a case of changing axis deviation in a 77-year-old Italian woman admitted to the Cardiology Unit with an acute myocardial infarction. Also this case focuses attention on changing axis deviation and acute myocardial infarction.
