Remember that T wave inversions and ST segment depression are normal in leads V1 to V3 in the presence of a right bundle branch block; thus, myocardial ischemia technically cannot be easily determined ...

A right bundle branch block (RBBB) involves a delay in the electrical impulses reaching the heart’s right ventricle, which can affect the heart’s ability to pump blood effectively. While RBBB doesn’t ...

Q: I recently had an electrocardiogram as part of a routine physical exam. The report said I had a bundle branch block. What does that mean? Will I need a pacemaker? A: Bundle branch blocks are ...

Given today's short hospital stays after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), there may be a role for selective long-term monitoring to flag delayed conduction abnormalities, studies showed.

Learning the art of ECG interpretation requires intellect, commitment, effort and — perhaps most importantly — an organized approach. I have spent thousands of hours (yes, thousands) looking at ...

A specialist tells how to interpret subtle changes on the ECG, including those caused by two life-threatening syndromes you might otherwise miss. Reading ECGs is like learning to appreciate art—it is ...
