LBBB: Left Bundle Branch Block V1: Dominant S wave V6: broad, notched (‘M’-shaped) R wave. Associated features include: Left axis deviation (LAD); Poor R wave progression in precordial leads, and ; Appropriate discordance (discussed below)
The hallmark of left bundle branch block (LBBB) is QRS duration ≥0,12 seconds, deep and broad S-wave in V1/V2 and broad clumsy R-wave in V5/V6. Refer to Figure 1, where the difference between normal conduction, right bundle branch block and left bundle branch block (LBBB) is illustrated.
Left bundle branch block (LBBB) occurs when something blocks or disrupts the electrical impulse that causes your heart to beat. This block leads to an abnormal heart rhythm. A diagnosis of left bundle branch block often means that you have an underlying heart condition.
Left bundle branch block (LBBB), a pattern seen on the surface electrocardiogram (ECG), results when normal electrical activity in the His-Purkinje system is interrupted . The normal sequence of activation is altered dramatically in LBBB, with a resultant characteristic appearance on the ECG .
Left bundle branch block (LBBB) is a common electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormality seen in patients whose normal cardiac conduction down both anterior and posterior left fascicles of the His-Purkinje system is compromised.
In bundle branch block, the pathway these impulses follow is delayed or blocked. The pathway includes two branches the left and the right bundles. If one bundle is damaged, the ventricles rely on the other bundle to receive and respond to signals from the right atrium.
This article will focus on the physiology, pathophysiology, and clinical consequences of damage to the bundle branches, including left bundle branch block (LBBB) and right bundle branch block (RBBB).
When the electrical stimulus from the AV node is not conducted by the left branch, a complete left bundle branch block (LBBB) occurs. This interruption of the impulse must arise before the subdivison of the left branch, because the injury of a single fascicles causes a left fascicular block.
Bundle branch block is partial or complete interruption of impulse conduction in a bundle branch; fascicular block is similar interruption in a hemifascicle of the left bundle. The disorders often coexist.
Introduction/background. Left bundle branch block (LBBB) is not a simple and generalized electrocardiogram (ECG) alteration in QRS pattern.
