How would damage to the left bundle branch affect blood flow to the systemic circulation?

∙ 11y ago
Damage to the left bundle branch would prevent the left ventricle from contracting as normal. The left ventricle pumps blood to the rest of the body minus the lungs, i.e. the systemic circuit.

What is the prognosis for bundle branch block?
The prognosis of blockage in any of the three bundle branches depends on the prognosis of the associated heart disease. The associated diseases determine the outcome of the patient's health.
What is the function of the bundle of HIS?
What function of the bundle of his
What is another name for atrioventricular bundle?
The Atrioventricular Bundle is also known as the Bundle of His. This conducts impulses and divides in ventrical to form fibers of Purkinge .
A bundle of neurons form at?
Several Bundle of neurons form inside a nerve --J.O Several Bundle of neurons form inside a nerve --J.O
What component of the conduction system is located between the ventricles?
there is the junctional node, the bundle of his and the left and right bundle branches
How would damage to left bundle affect blood flow in systemic circulation?
Left ventricle wouldn't be able to contract so that oxygenated blood could get to the body tissues.
What causes right bundle branch block?
Right bundle branch block happens less often from underlying heart disease.
What is a bundle branch composed of?
Purkinje fibers.
Is right bundle branch block reversible?
It depends on what has caused the bundle branch block. Some healthy people will exhibit a bundle branch block (usually right sided) when their heart beats very fast. This is caused by a rate related delay in the bundle branch on that side, wherein the cells of the conduction system do not repolarize fast enough to propagate the electrical activity. If the block is caused by damage to the conduction tissue, then the bundle branch block will most likely be permanent.
What group of heart problems does the bundle branch block belong to?
Bundle branch block belongs to a group of heart problems called intraventricular conduction defects (IVCD).
What does right bundle branch block mean?
An incomplete right bundle branch block is an interruption in the heart's electrical conduction system. Incomplete means it has not completely failed.
What is the twisted bundle of hay called used to aid a horses circulation?
a wisp
If a myocardial infarction damaged the left bundle branch how would this affect the spread of the action potential?
Ventricular depolarization takes longer because impulses in the left ventricle must travel from cell to cell rather than traveling down the left bundle branch and Purkinje fibers. (This will lead to a longer QRS complex on an ECG)
Are incomplete right bundle branch blocks dangerous?
Yes
What advice would you give to someone who has a left bundle block?
Left bundle branch block affects the heart's electrical conduction system. When you have left bundle branch block, the left branch of this conducting system is partially or completely blocked. This causes the left ventricle to contract a little later than it should.
What is the name of the bundle where the left and right branch bundles are joined?
The two bundles initially are together at a junction called the bundle of His.
If a myocardial infarct destroyed a portion of the right or left bundle branches what potential change might you see in the ECG?
You can see the M pattern in ECG in place of ORS complex. In case of right bundle branch block, you see the M pattern in lead V one. In case of left bundle branch block, you see the M pattern in lead V six.
