A right bundle branch block (RBBB) is a heart block in the right bundle branch of the electrical conduction system. [1] During a right bundle branch block, the right ventricle is not directly activated by impulses traveling through the right bundle branch. However, the left bundle branch still normally activates the left ventricle.
A right bundle branch block typically causes prolongation of the last part of the QRS complex and may shift the heart's electrical axis slightly to the right. The ECG will show a terminal R wave in lead V1 and a slurred S wave in lead I. Left bundle branch block widens the entire QRS, and in most cases shifts the heart's electrical axis to the ...
Intraventricular conduction delay seen in precordial/chest leads with QRS duration 100 ms. An EKG of a 25-year-old male. Intraventricular conduction delays (IVCD) are conduction disorders seen in intraventricular propagation of supraventricular impulses resulting in changes in the QRS complex duration or morphology, or both.
So with right bundle branch block, the right ventricle contracts late. If the block happened to be on the left side instead, a left bundle branch block, the signal would be delayed on that side and so the right ventricle would contract first, and then the left ventricle would contract late.
Infra-Hisian blocks may occur at the left or right bundle branches ("bundle branch block") or the fascicles of the left bundle branch ("fascicular block" or "Hemiblock"). SA and AV node blocks are each divided into three degrees, with second-degree blocks being divided into two types (written either "type I or II" or "type 1 or 2").
A Canadian woman was arrested after trying to smuggle over 20 pounds of methamphetamine through a New Zealand airport, authorities said. The illicit drugs were disguised as Christmas presents, New ...
Normal 12-lead ECG A 12-lead ECG of a 26-year-old male with an incomplete right bundle branch block (RBBB). The overall goal of performing an ECG is to obtain information about the electrical functioning of the heart.
The holidays are here, and the booze is flowing. From wine at Thanksgiving dinner to the steady stream of eggnog and festive cocktails at holiday parties to toasting the new year with a glass of ...
