Relationship of age and exercise performance in patients with heart failure: the HF-ACTION study.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: More than three fourths of patients with heart failure (HF) are 65 years and older, and older age is associated with worse symptoms and prognoses than is younger age. Reduced exercise capacity is a chief HF complaint and indicates poorer ... Read more...

Electrocardiographic characteristics at initial diagnosis in patients with isolated left ventricular noncompaction.

29 Sep 2009 Isolated ventricular noncompaction (IVNC) is a primary cardiomyopathy characterized by a specific morphologic pattern. Patients with IVNC can develop various arrhythmic complications such as life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias, as well as heart ... Read more...

Alternation of right bundle branch block with beats showing normal conduction and with a less complete right bundle branch block pattern.

30 Aug 2009 We report the case of an 80-year-old man with a preexistent right bundle branch block (RBBB) who underwent dobutamine stress echocardiography. As the sinus cycle length gradually decreased during the stress test, he first developed a 2:1 RBBB ... 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.
