conclusions right ventricular pacing increases the qt interval without increasing the jt interval. our results confirm that jtc, as an index of repolarization, is independent of ventricular depolarization. therefore, it can be applied for predicting qtc in patients with lbbb. results stimulation from the rva increased the qtc from 456.20 ± 38.63 ms to 530.67 ± 47.73 ms at a cl of 600 (p < 0.000...

In five cases of anteroseptal myocardial infarction complicated by intermittent right bundle-branch block, the onset of right bundle-branch block provoked the appearance of abnormal Q waves in leads V1 and V2, whereas a small initial R wave was present in the same leads during normal conduction. The intermittency of the conduction disturbance indicated that the Q waves were "right bundle-branch...

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...

or bundle of His. Blockage of both the right and left bundle branches would be tantamount to block at these locations. This is the well-established concept of bilateral bundle-branch block.1-3 It highlights a hazard inherent in catheterization of the ventricle opposite that which is already the site of bundle-branch block. Since the advent of cardiac catheterization, numerous reports have been ...
