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.
The left bundle branch divides into anterior and posterior fascicles, running along the septum. The right bundle branch is located in the right side of the interventricular septum.
The prognosis for bundle branch block depends on the underlying cause and overall heart health of the individual. In some cases, it may not cause any symptoms or issues. However, those with certain heart conditions may be at increased risk for more serious complications such as heart failure or arrhythmias. Regular monitoring and follow-up with a healthcare provider is important to manage any associated risks.
The Atrioventricular Bundle is also known as the Bundle of His. This conducts impulses and divides in ventrical to form fibers of Purkinge .
The bundle of HIS is responsible for conducting electrical signals from the atria to the ventricles in the heart. This pathway allows for coordinated contraction of the heart chambers, ensuring efficient blood pumping.
A bundle of money notes is commonly referred to as a "wad" or a "stack" of cash.
Left ventricle wouldn't be able to contract so that oxygenated blood could get to the body tissues.
Right bundle branch block happens less often from underlying heart disease.
Purkinje fibers.
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.
Bundle branch block belongs to a group of heart problems called intraventricular conduction defects (IVCD).
An incomplete right bundle branch block is an interruption in the heart's electrical conduction system. Incomplete means it has not completely failed.
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.
The left bundle branch divides into anterior and posterior fascicles, running along the septum. The right bundle branch is located in the right side of the interventricular septum.
Left bundle branch block is a delay or blockage in the electrical impulse conduction through the left bundle branch of the heart. Treatment for left bundle branch block depends on the underlying cause, such as heart disease or high blood pressure. It may include managing risk factors, such as controlling blood pressure, addressing heart disease, or considering a pacemaker in some cases.

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)
