Remember that T wave inversions and ST segment depression are normal in leads V1 to V3 in the presence of a right bundle branch block; thus, myocardial ischemia technically cannot be easily determined ...

Q: I recently had an electrocardiogram as part of a routine physical exam. The report said I had a bundle branch block. What does that mean? Will I need a pacemaker? A: Bundle branch blocks are ...

Yogesh N. Reddy, MBBS: Hi. This is Yogesh Reddy, cardiology fellow at Mayo Clinic. Today we will be discussing the very common clinical scenario of a left bundle branch block (LBBB) on ...

QRS duration greater than 120 milliseconds Absence of Q wave in leads I, V5 and V6 Monomorphic R wave in I, V5 and V6 ST and T wave displacement opposite to the major deflection of the QRS complex A ...

Left bundle branch block (LBBB) is a type heart block. It results from a problem with the electrical conduction system that enables the heart to beat. It may cause no symptoms, but an ...

A right bundle branch block (RBBB) involves a delay in the electrical impulses reaching the heart’s right ventricle, which can affect the heart’s ability to pump blood effectively. While RBBB doesn’t ...

Impulses, or electrical signals, travel through both the left and right chambers of your heart to make it pump. But if the pathway is blocked, the impulses may move slower than normal or irregularly.

DEAR DOCTOR K: I recently had an ECG that showed that I have a "left bundle branch block." What does this mean? DEAR READER: When your heart beats, it does so in response to electrical signals. Your ...
