[Preventive treatment of systemic embolic complications of atrial fibrillation].

Non-valvular atrial fibrillation multiplies the risk of presumed embolic events by a factor of four. The hemorrhagic risk of anticoagulant treatment varies considerably and its prophylactic efficacy was not tested in any randomised trial before the end of 1989. The recommendations of experts at that time recognised that data were inadequate. The publication since of four randomised trials involving 3,049 patients has provided a more objective base for management decisions, highly in favour of the anticoagulation of cases of non-isolated atrial fibrillation in the absence of contraindications.

[Painful left bundle-branch block during exertion].

Two new cases of exercise related left-bundle branch block are reported in this study. They should be added to the twenty established and published cases. Comparison opens the way to discussion of the mechanism of onset. Ischemia is often accused, although no exploration has been able to demonstrate its responsibility in the origin of the problem. These two cases have novel features, particularly in describing the first case of painful exercise related bundle branch block in a subject twenty-three years of age. Ischemia linked to epicardial coronary lesions cannot be held responsible, but the possibility of micro-circulatory ischemia is suggested.
