An incomplete right bundle branch block (IRBBB) is a conduction abnormality in the right bundle branch block. While a complete RBBB has a QRS duration of 120 ms or more, an incomplete RBBB has a wave duration between 100 and 120 ms. It has a relatively high prevalence, a study conducted on young Swiss military conscripts with a mean age of 19 ...
Selection bias is the bias introduced by the selection of individuals, groups, or data for analysis in such a way that proper randomization is not achieved, thereby failing to ensure that the sample obtained is representative of the population intended to be analyzed. [1]
Diagnosis. 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. The ECG will show a terminal R wave in lead V1 and a slurred S wave in ...
ECG characteristics of an intraventricular block subtype - RBBB showing wide QRS complexes with a terminal R wave in lead V1 and a prolonged S wave in lead V6. An intraventricular block is a heart conduction disorder — heart block of the ventricles of the heart. [ 1] An example is a right bundle branch block, right fascicular block ...
A tachycardia-dependent bundle branch block is a defect in the conduction system of the heart, and is distinct from typical bundle branch blocks due to its reliable, reproducible onset related to an increase in the rate of cardiac contraction. Tachycardia-dependent bundle branch block can prevent both ventricles from contracting efficiently and ...
Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy ( ACM) is an inherited heart disease. [ 1] ACM is caused by genetic defects of parts of the cardiac muscle known as desmosomes, areas on the surface of muscle cells which link them together. The desmosomes are composed of several proteins, and many of those proteins can have harmful mutations .
Right ventricular hypertrophy ( RVH) is a condition defined by an abnormal enlargement of the cardiac muscle surrounding the right ventricle. The right ventricle is one of the four chambers of the heart. It is located towards the right lower chamber of the heart and it receives Deoxygenated blood from the right upper chamber (right atrium) and ...
Cardiac ventriculography is a medical imaging test used to determine a person's heart function in the right, or left ventricle. [ 1] Cardiac ventriculography involves injecting contrast media into the heart's ventricle (s) to measure the volume of blood pumped. Cardiac ventriculography can be performed with a radionuclide in radionuclide ...
