Mortality analysis of complete right and left bundle branch block in a selected community population.
نویسنده
چکیده
A twenty year follow up of a selected, community population with complete right and left bundle branch block is reviewed by comparative mortality analysis. In this population, where cases and controls were free of hypertension and heart disease at entry, the presence of complete right bundle branch block does not have excess mortality. Complete left bundle branch block exhibits excess total and cardiac mortality.

Complete right bundle branch block predicts mortality in Thai patients with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.
BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown that intraventricular conduction defect is associated with increased mortality in heart failure (HF) population. However, it is conflicting whether left bundle branch block (LBBB) or right bundle branch block (RBBB) is a better predictor for mortality. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relationship between patterns of bundle branch block (BBB) and all-cause mort...
متن کاملIntraventricular conduction defects in acute myocardial infarction.
Of 325 consecutive cases with acute myocardial infarction admitted to a coronary care unit, II3 per cent developed one or more intraventricular conduction defects as an early, and often transient complication. The most common Lintraventricular conduction defect was block of the anterior fascicle, followed by complete right bundle-branch block, and by the association of right bundle-branch block...

The impact of right bundle branch block on long-term prognosis after anterior wall myocardial infarction is unclear. In 932 patients with Q wave anterior infarction, the short- and long-term prognostic significance of the presence of right bundle branch block was analyzed. Compared with 754 patients without block, 178 patients with right bundle branch block after myocardial infarction showed an...
