Oct 8, 2024 · Left bundle branch block (LBBB): 1) rS complex in V1 (tiny R wave, deep S wave) 2) Characteristic lateral lead morphology in V5-6 3) Note appropriate discordance in V1 with ST elevation and upright T wave

Learn about left bundle branch block (LBBB), with emphasis on ECG criteria, differential diagnoses, causes, management and diagnosis of ischemia/infarction.

Oct 5, 2024 · Left bundle branch block (LBBB) is a cardiac conduction disorder that affects the left bundle branch of the heart's conduction system, leading to delayed or abnormal electrical impulses through the ventricles.

Nov 5, 2024 · LBBB is supported by mid-QRS notching/slurring in at least two contiguous leads (especially V5, V6, I, and aVL). The most specific finding for LBBB is t ime-to-QRS-notch in lead I is >75 ms (figure below). R-wave peak time may be prolonged >60 ms. [3] V1 is predominantly negative (QS or rS) with a positive T-wave. (de Luna 2022)

Nov 1, 2013 · Is it LBBB or RBBB? Once you have identified that your QRS is wide go to lead V1. If the “terminal force” of the QRS is above the baseline (big R wave) you have a RBBB. If the “terminal force” of the QRS is below the baseline (big S wave) you have a …

Jul 23, 2022 · Left bundle branch block is always pathological and indicates significant damage to the cardiac conduction system. When assessing whether a broad QRS complex is LBBB or RBBB, the appearances of V1 and V6 are often enough to provide the answer using the WiLliaM and MaRroW technique.

A simple way to diagnose a left bundle branch in an ECG with a widened QRS complex (> 120 ms) would be to look at lead V1. If the QRS complex is widened and downwardly deflected in lead V1, a...

Aug 25, 2012 · In a LBBB, the last depolarization wave is in the left ventricle. This wave is directed away from V1. On the ECG, V1 will show a negative complex. In left bundle branch block (LBBB) the conduction in the left bundle is slow. This results in delayed depolarization of the left ventricle, especially the left lateral wall.

Jan 18, 2022 · LBBB: QRS >120ms (3 small squares) Large S waves in V1-V3 caused by depolarization from RV instead of Left bundle. Large R waves (>60ms/1.5 small squares) in lateral leads often with characteristic ‘M’ shaped notch caused by depolarization from right bundle/ventricle instead of Left Bundle.
