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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

An ST depression is a possible outcome of an electrocardiogram (ECG) test. It can indicate health conditions such as hypokalemia, myocardial ischemia, or a side effect of medications. Doctors may ...

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) ...
