Left Bundle Branch Block Case Studies
Case 1: Left bundle branch block Tap the arrow to view the case.This is an example of LBBB. It meets the two criteria for diagnosis. First, the QRS interval is 0.12 seconds or more. This means the ventricles were not depolarized simultaneously, but sequentially. Since the ventricles are out of sequence, inspection of the last […]
