ABSTRACT

Interatrial block, also known as Bayés syndrome, is a conduction abnormality secondary to delay or block through the Bachmann’s bundle. Its diagnosis is performed with a surface electrocardiogram in the presence of a P-wave ≥ 120 ms in the frontal plane, and can be classified in partial or advanced. The presence of interatrial block translates structural cardiopathy and has been associated with the development and recurrence of supraventricular arrhythmias, especially atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation. Besides the development of arrhythmias, interatrial block has been associated with stroke.
