Right and Left Bundle Branch Blocks and Fascicular Blocks

Right and Left Bundle Branch Blocks and Fascicular Blocks

This lecture describes, in great detail, right and left bundle branch blocks of the heart. The electrocardiograph traces of these conditions are interpreted and discussed. Left anterior fascicular and left posterior fascicular blocks are described and the electrocardiograph traces of these heart anomalies interpreted. The clinical manifestations of right and left bundle branch blocks and fascicular blocks are discussed. The electrocardiograph (ECG) traces produced by these conditions are described in great detail and analysed extensively. This is an interactive lecture.

The main concepts explored in this session are:

• Right and left bundle branch blocks
• Left anterior fascicular and left posterior fascicular blocks
• Electrocardiograph trace interpretation
• Heart abnormalities and cardiac arrhythmias
• Electrocardiograph (ECG) detailed interpretation
