A bundle branch block is characterized by a delay or an obstruction to the electrical impulses that prompt the heart to beat. These blockages along the heart’s electrical pathway can occur in healthy ...

LBBB is linked to electrical abnormalities, causing inefficient heart pumping, dilation, and systolic dysfunction. The study found LBBB associated with increased heart failure risk, surpassing other ...

Cardiovascular diseases, known as CVDs, are the reason, behind fatalities globally accounting for 17.9 million deaths in 2019 representing 32% of all deaths 1. Among these fatalities 85% were ...

Yogesh N. Reddy, MBBS: Hi. This is Yogesh Reddy, cardiology fellow at Mayo Clinic. Today we will be discussing the very common clinical scenario of a left bundle branch block (LBBB) on ...

To examine the feasibility of single left bundle branch pacing for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) by carrying out a frequency adaptive atrioventricular delay (RAAVD) algorithm and automatic ...

Multicenter randomized trial (n=200) assigned LBBP versus BiVP for CRT in LBBB with LVEF ≤35%, using time to death or HF hospitalization as primary endpoint. Event rates favored LBBP, reducing death ...

In 2023, the field of heart rhythm saw major developments and continuing evolution of drug and device therapies for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), as well as additional data bolstering use of ...

Second-degree heart block is a potentially serious but treatable condition affecting the heart’s electrical system. Treatment may require a pacemaker to stabilize the heart’s rhythm. Electrical ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Left bundle branch pacing was achieved for the first time via leadless pacemaker. Implantation failure rate was ...

Complete heart block means that there’s a complete separation of electrical activity between the upper and lower chambers of the heart. Without prompt medical attention, it can be fatal. Your heart ...

Staying active is an important part of supporting your heart, but it doesn’t protect you from everything. Luise Easton, 87, was a lifelong athlete diagnosed with left bundle branch block in 2021. One ...
