What causes right bundle branch block?
Right bundle branch block happens less often from underlying heart disease.
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 left branch bundle block and what is the treatment for it?
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.
What is a BBB in the heart?
This si known as a Bundle Branch Block - and refers to an anomaly of a blockage in the nerve system of the heart at the bundle branches.
How is bundle branch block discovered?
Detection of BBB usually takes place during a normal physical examination. The block shows up as a widening of the second heart sound.
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 is a left side bubble block mean in my heart?
You probably misheard bundle as bubble. Like me, you have left bundle branch block. Google that for more info.
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.
Sinus rhythm with incomplete right bundle branch block?
A series of nerve bundles or groups enter down through the heart through the middle wall (septum)and split to come back upwards towards both the right and left chambers of the heart. If trauma, or more likely in injury due to small areas where the heart muscle has died, occurs there may be an interruption in the ability for nerve pulses to go past this point. This changes the regular (normal sinus) rhythm and speed of the heart beating into an irregular arrhythmia and is often associated with slowing of the heart rate.
What are three conditions in which a bundle branch block would appear on the ECG?
Congestive heart failure heart attack and heart failure of other origin
Can left bundle branch block reverse itself?
Left bundle branch block can sometimes be reversible if it is caused by conditions such as electrolyte imbalances, medication side effects, or acute myocardial infarction. However, if left bundle branch block is due to underlying heart disease or other structural abnormalities, it may not be reversible but can be managed with appropriate medical intervention.
