Remember that T wave inversions and ST segment depression are normal in leads V1 to V3 in the presence of a right bundle branch block; thus, myocardial ischemia technically cannot be easily determined ...

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 ...

Q: I recently had an electrocardiogram as part of a routine physical exam. The report said I had a bundle branch block. What does that mean? Will I need a pacemaker? A: Bundle branch blocks are ...

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.

A right bundle branch block (RBBB) involves a delay in the electrical impulses reaching the heart’s right ventricle, which can affect the heart’s ability to pump blood effectively. While RBBB doesn’t ...

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.

Q-I`m a 27-year-old female in good health. However a recent EKG turned up a ”bundle branch blockage.” The doctor says it is an interruption in the heart`s electromagnetic field. What else can you tell ...

A person with RBBB typically does not have symptoms and may not know they have the condition. On rare occasions, a person may faint due to a severe block, though this is unlikely to occur unless other ...

Dr. Keith Roach writes a medical question-and-answer column weekdays. Dear Dr. Roach: My 35-year-old son recently complained of some chest pain. He went to his doctor, and it was determined that he ...
