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.
This is a combination of right bundle branch block with either left anterior fascicular block or left posterior fascicular block together with a first degree AV block. Tachycardia-dependent bundle branch block; A simple way to quickly differentiate between the two types is to note the deflection of the QRS complex in the V1 lead. A (V1) QRS ...
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]
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.
The most literal meaning of trifascicular block is complete heart block: all three fascicles are blocked. 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.
Vintage watches and expensive alarm clocks were the epitome of luxury in 2024. This year, however, $600 calendars and stained-glass lamps have become the new status symbols.
A policeman walks through the shuttered Christmas market the day after a car-ramming attack killed 5 and injured 200 in Magdeburg, Germany, Dec. 21, 2024.
A subset of individuals with the triad of first-degree heart block, right bundle branch block, and either left anterior fascicular block or left posterior fascicular block (known as trifascicular block) may be at an increased risk of progression to complete heart block. [8]
