Int J Cardiol. 2012 Mar 8;155(2):e19-21. doi: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2009.10.007. Epub 2009 Nov 17.

Abstract

Changing axis deviation has been reported also during atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. Changing axis deviation has been also 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 revelation of changing axis deviation at the end of atrial fibrillation without acute myocardial infarction in a 74-year-old Italian man. Also this case focuses attention on changing axis deviation.
