QRS duration greater than 120 milliseconds Absence of Q wave in leads I, V5 and V6 Monomorphic R wave in I, V5 and V6 ST and T wave displacement opposite to the major deflection of the QRS complex A ...

DEAR DOCTOR K: I recently had an ECG that showed that I have a "left bundle branch block." What does this mean? DEAR READER: When your heart beats, it does so in response to electrical signals. Your ...

Yogesh N. Reddy, MBBS: Hi. This is Yogesh Reddy, cardiology fellow at Mayo Clinic. Today we will be discussing the very common clinical scenario of a left bundle branch block (LBBB) on ...

In order for your heart to beat properly, your heart’s tissue conducts electrical impulses throughout your heart muscle in a regular pattern. This electrical impulse causes the upper chambers (atria) ...

Dear Dr. Roach: I am a 63-year-old male who, during a routine EKG, showed a left bundle branch block. Can you tell me anything about this diagnosis, what it means, any treatment, future concerns, etc.

LBBB is linked to electrical abnormalities, causing inefficient heart pumping, dilation, and systolic dysfunction. The study found LBBB associated with increased heart failure risk, surpassing other ...

Almost one-third of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with a balloon-expandable device develop new-onset left bundle branch block, although the condition resolves by ...

Impulses, or electrical signals, travel through both the left and right chambers of your heart to make it pump. But if the pathway is blocked, the impulses may move slower than normal or irregularly.

Left bundle branch block (LBBB) is a type heart block. It results from a problem with the electrical conduction system that enables the heart to beat. It may cause no symptoms, but an ...
