Remember that T wave inversions and ST segment depression are normal in leads V1 to V3 in the presence of a right bundle branch block; thus, myocardial ischemia technically cannot be easily determined ...

Given today's short hospital stays after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), there may be a role for selective long-term monitoring to flag delayed conduction abnormalities, studies showed.

A right bundle branch block (RBBB) involves a delay in the electrical impulses reaching the heart’s right ventricle, which can affect the heart’s ability to pump blood effectively. While RBBB doesn’t ...

Delayed cases of total atrioventricular block (AVB) or complete heart block can occur more than 2 days after TAVI, two new studies affirm, highlighting the utility of extended ECG monitoring after ...

A person with RBBB typically does not have symptoms and may not know they have the condition. On rare occasions, a person may faint due to a severe block, though this is unlikely to occur unless other ...

Presenter: Jeanne E. Poole, MD, University of Washington (Seattle) for the SCD-HeFT Investigators The high incidence of sudden cardiac death (SCD), particularly in patients with impaired left ...

A specialist tells how to interpret subtle changes on the ECG, including those caused by two life-threatening syndromes you might otherwise miss. Reading ECGs is like learning to appreciate art—it is ...

In order to study myocardial activation, 15 patients with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot had body surface potential maps (BSPM) (180 electrode array). All had ambulatory EKG (H), exercise EKG (Ex) and ...

A man in his mid-70s with a history of peripheral arterial disease, but no known heart disease, presents to the emergency department (ED) with 1 to 2 hours of nonradiating, slightly pleuritic, ...
