Exercise induced bundle branch block is a rare observation in exercise testing, accounting for 0.5 percent of exercise tests. The best treatment of this condition and its association with coronary disease remain unclear. We describe a case associated with normal coronary arteries which was successfully treated with exercise training. While this treatment has been used previously, our case has a longer followup than previously reported and demonstrates that the treatment is not durable in the absence of continued exercise.

Device therapy is becoming common in those patients with renal insufficiency. Coexisting need for arteriovenous (AV) fistula placement is often contemplated relative to device placement. We describe the excimer laser lead extraction of a malfunctioning chronic atrial pacemaker lead ipsilateral to an AV fistula.
