RBBB is a common finding in healthy individuals. In RBBB the QRS complex in V1 is always markedly positive. The last electrical activity is thus to the right, or towards lead V1. As the right ventricles depolarizes, the left ventricle is often halfway finished and few counteracting electrical activity is left. In right bundle branch block (RBBB) the conduction in the bundle to the right ventricle is slow. In general when the QRS is wide and the definitions of LBBB and RBBB are not met, the term NIVCD (non-specific intraventricular conduction delay) is used.Ī 12 lead ECG with right bundle branch block, left axis (LAFB)(and left atrial enlargement)Īgain, watch V1. Absence of q wave in leads I, V5, and V6.Īlso a narrow initial R wave in V1 has been linked with a reduced response to CRT.R peak time greater than 60 ms in leads V4, V5, and V6.Presence of left ventricular hypertrophy pattern.QRS duration between 110 and 119 ms in adults, between 90 and 100 ms in children 8 to 16 years of age, and between 80 and 90 ms in children less than 8 years of age.The appearance of LBBB may change the mean QRS axis in the frontal plane to the right, to the left, or to a superior, in some cases in a rate-dependent manner.Depressed ST segment and/or negative T wave in leads with negative QRS (negative concordance) are abnormal.Positive T wave in leads with upright QRS may be normal (positive concordance).ST and T waves usually opposite in direction to QRS.R peak time greater than 60 ms in leads V5 and V6 but normal in leads V1, V2, and V3, when small initial r waves can be discerned in the above leads.Absent q waves in leads I, V5, and V6, but in the lead aVL, a narrow q wave may be present in the absence of myocardial pathology.Broad notched or slurred R wave in leads I, aVL, V5, and V6 and an occasional RS pattern in V5 and V6 attributed to displaced transition of QRS complex.QRS duration greater than or equal to 120 ms in adults, greater than 100 ms in children 4 to 16 years of age, and greater than 90 ms in children less than 4 years of age.
Non specific qrs widening ivcd trial#
In the RAFT trial the following AHA/ESC definition was used: In selecting patients for CRT-D therapy (cardiac resynchronization therapy) there has been debate whether a more specific definition should be used. The above definition of left bundle branch block is rather broad. Once you remember this, LBBB is easy to understand.ĭiagnosis of myocardial infarction in LBBB can be difficult. The last activity on the ECG thus goes to the left or away from V1. The electrical activity in the left lateral wall is unopposed by the usual right ventricular electrical activity. This results in delayed depolarization of the left ventricle, especially the left lateral wall. In left bundle branch block (LBBB) the conduction in the left bundle is slow. On the ECG, V1 will show a negative complex. In a LBBB, the last depolarization wave is in the left ventricle.
