Ventricular pacing may interfere with the interpretation of ECG among patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction (AMI), with possible delay of reperfusion therapy. Since left bundle branch block has a similar ECG morphology to right ventricular paced rhythm, Sgarbossa and modified Sgarbossa criteria could be useful in this setting. We present four clinical cases in which a recently proposed clinical-instrumental algorithm has been adopted to manage patients with right ventricular paced rhythm and suspected AMI.

Abstract
Ventricular pacing may interfere with the interpretation of ECG among patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction (AMI), with possible delay of reperfusion therapy. Since left bundle branch block has a similar ECG morphology to right ventricular paced rhythm, Sgarbossa and modified Sgarbossa criteria could be useful in this setting. We present four clinical cases in which a recently proposed clinical-instrumental algorithm has been adopted to manage patients with right ventricular paced rhythm and suspected AMI.
