In the Interventricular septum, between the right and left ventricles of the heart.
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.
The structure of the conduction system formerly known as the bundle of His is now referred to as the atrioventricular (AV) bundle. It is responsible for conducting electrical impulses from the atria to the ventricles of the heart. The AV bundle splits into right and left bundle branches that extend into the ventricles, facilitating coordinated contraction.
It is supposed to be the sinus node and the conducting tissue. It includes the AV node and bundle of HIS. The sinus node generate the impulse in the heart for contraction. The AV node and bundle of HIS transmits the impulse to the ventricles.
A complete left bundle branch block (LBBB) occurs when there is a blockage in the electrical pathway (bundle branch) that carries signals to the left side of the heart. This can cause a delay in the electrical signals reaching the left ventricle, leading to changes in the appearance of the ECG waveforms. It may indicate an underlying heart condition and should be evaluated by a healthcare provider.
The fibers of the ventricular bundle, also known as the bundle of His, are specialized cardiac muscle fibers that conduct electrical impulses from the atrioventricular (AV) node to the Purkinje fibers in the ventricles. These fibers play a critical role in coordinating the contraction of the ventricles during the cardiac cycle, ensuring effective pumping of blood out of the heart.
There are two bundle branches, right and left.
the av bundle (aka Bundle of His (pronounced like 'hiss'))
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.
Bundle of Hisatrioventicular bundle (bundle of his), right and left bundle bramches and the purkinge conducition fibers
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.

Bundle branch block belongs to a group of heart problems called intraventricular conduction defects (IVCD).
Nerve impulses come through the sinus node of the heart to the bundle of His and then move into the right and left bundle branches.
The Atrioventricular Bundle is also known as the Bundle of His. This conducts impulses and divides in ventrical to form fibers of Purkinge .
