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 segment deflected down indicates left bundle branch block, while a deflection up indicates right bundle branch block. In both types, the QRS is wide (> 0.12 seconds).
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.
Any abnormality of conduction takes longer and causes "widened" QRS complexes. In bundle branch block, there can be an abnormal second upward deflection within the QRS complex. In this case, such a second upward deflection is referred to as R′ (pronounced "R prime"). This would be described as an RSR′ pattern.
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.
Electrocardiogram showing left bundle branch block and irregular rhythm due to supraventricular extrasystoles. A left bundle branch block. LBBB is diagnosed on a 12-lead ECG. In adults, it is seen as wide QRS complexes lasting ≥120ms with characteristic QRS shapes in the precordial leads, although narrower complexes are seen in children. [4]
IVCD can be caused by abnormalities in the structures of bundle of His, Purkinje fibers or ventricular myocardium. [5] [6] Nonspecific intraventricular conduction delay (NICD) is a delay with widened QRS complex but without a specific intraventricular block present. [7]
It shows up as a wider QRS complex on an ECG, and using chest leads on the ECG can help confirm the bundle block’s location.

Left bundle branch block. Left anterior fascicular block; Left posterior fascicular block; Right bundle branch block; This is in contrast to a permanent dysfunction of the electrical pathways that produces wide QRS complexes in one of the above patterns or combinations of patterns (ie, bifascicular block).
