Characteristics of bundle branch reentrant ventricular tachycardia with a right bundle branch block configuration: feasibility of atrial pacing.

4 Aug 2009 AIMS: We assessed the inducibility of bundle branch reentrant ventricular tachycardia (BBR-VT) with a right bundle branch block (RBBB) configuration in patients with BBR-VT. METHODS AND RESULTS: Eight consecutive patients (5 men, 45+/-18 years old) ... Read more...

Right bundle branch block as a screening test for pulmonary embolism in chronic spinal cord injury.

29 Jun 2009 OBJECTIVES: To evaluate right bundle branch block (RBBB) on electrocardiograms (ECGs) as a screening tool for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE) in a chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) population and to determine the prevalence of PE. DESIGN: ... Read more...

Intra-His bundle block in second-degree Mobitz I atrioventricular block with right bundle branch block.

18 Jun 2009 Because second-degree Mobitz I atrioventricular (AV) block is usually associated with a disturbance at the AV nodal level, and rarely at the infra- or intra-His bundle level, it has been considered as mostly benign in character. We report on a ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Bundle-Branch Block'

Definition: A form of heart block in which the electrical stimulation of HEART VENTRICLES is interrupted at either one of the branches of BUNDLE OF HIS thus preventing the simultaneous depolarization of the two ventricles.
