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 ...

Atrial fibrillation with an uncontrolled ventricular response Intermittent right bundle branch block - rate dependent This ECG shows atrial fibrillation with an uncontrolled ventricular rate. There ...

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.

Atrial fibrillation with an uncontrolled ventricular response Left bundle branch block Premature ventricular contractions At times it can be difficult to distinguish "SVT with aberrancy" from ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A specialist tells how to interpret subtle changes on the ECG, including those caused by two life-threatening syndromes you might otherwise miss. Reading ECGs is like learning to appreciate art—it is ...

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) ...
