  2. Right bundle branch block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_bundle_branch_block

    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.

  3. Bundle branch block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundle_branch_block

    A bundle branch block can be diagnosed when the duration of the QRS complex on the ECG exceeds 120 ms. 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.

    So if the block happens on the right side, it’s referred to as a right bundle branch block. So with this type, the electrical signal starts at the SA node, contracts the atria, moves through the AV node, splits at the bundle of His, and then moves down the left bundle branch but is blocked on the right bundle branch.

  5. Bifascicular block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bifascicular_block

    Bifascicular block is characterized by right bundle branch block with left anterior fascicular block, or right bundle branch block with left posterior fascicular block on electrocardiography. Complete heart block could be the cause of syncope that is otherwise unexplained if bifascicular block is seen on electrocardiography. [1]

  6. Tachycardia-dependent bundle branch block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachycardia-dependent...

    Tachycardia-dependent bundle branch block (TDBBB) can affect either ventricle in the heart, and occurs when the heart's rate of contraction reaches an elevated level and becomes uncoupled from the heart's refractory period (the time it takes for a cardiac cell to "reset" for future contraction).

  7. Ashman phenomenon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashman_phenomenon

    Ashman beats are described as wide complex QRS complexes that follow a short R-R interval preceded by a long R-R interval. [3] This short QRS complex typically has a right bundle branch block morphology and represents an aberrantly conducted complex that originates above the AV node, rather than a complex that originates in either the right or left ventricle.

  8. Trifascicular block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trifascicular_block

    A second, and clinically distinct, definition of trifascicular block is a circumstance in which right bundle branch block (RBBB) and left bundle branch block occur in the same patient, but at distinct points in time. For example, a patient that is found to have a RBBB one day and a LBBB another can be said to have "alternating bundle branch ...

  9. Bundle branches - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundle_branches

    There are two branches of the bundle of His: the left bundle branch and the right bundle branch, both of which are located along the interventricular septum. The left bundle branch further divides into the left anterior fascicle and the left posterior fascicle. These structures lead to a network of thin filaments known as Purkinje fibers.
