Dear Doctor K: I recently had an ECG that showed that I have a “left bundle branch block.” What does this mean? Dear Reader: When your heart beats, it does so in response to electrical signals. Your ...
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 ...
First-degree heart block is the mildest type and often requires no treatment. Third-degree heart block is the most severe and ...
Conduction system pacing was found to be inferior to biventricular pacing for key outcomes in HFrEF with left bundle-branch ...
The findings suggest that use of the pacing technique during CRT should be reserved for expert operators, at least for now.
Two multicenter trials drew different conclusions about the value of conduction system relative to biventricular pacing for ...
New left bundle branch block (LBBB) following TAVI has grown less common over the past decade, but the conduction disturbance remains a substantial complication associated with worse morbidity, ...
