Question 1

is right bundle branch block reversible with treatment?

Accepted Answer

No: There is no treatment for rignt bundle branch block. It sometimes is intermittent (comes and goes). Fortunately it is for the most part benign.

Question 2

hoping you can tell me, is right bundle branch block (rbbb) something to really stress over everyday?

Accepted Answer

Not really: Rt bbb is a common ekg finding and it may occur in some medical conditions.But it is also common in some people with normal heart
it occurs in conditionsthat effect the right ventricle or the lungs.If you are otherwise healthy and no other symptoms and your doctor gave you clean chit, than you do not need to stress over it every day.

Question 3

i was told by my cardiologist i have right bundle branch block; there was no cause for concern. can condition worsen? can rbbb worsen?

Accepted Answer

An : An isolated right bundle branch block can occur in people with no other heart disease, and may never worsen or cause you any trouble. Nothing needs to be done now. Isolated rbbb rarely progresses to complete heart block (rbbb and lbbb), but depending on other health conditions this is possible. Just be sure to let your doctor know if you develop anything like chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, or fainting.

Question 4

would it be possible that a rbbb (right bundle branch block) cause a heart murmur?

Accepted Answer

No: But there are conditions that can both cause a heart murmur and a rbbb (for example, pulmonic stenosis or  an atrial or ventricular septal defect).

Question 5

would a echocardiogram report a right bundle branch block? because it was normal, but my electrocardiogram did report a rbbb, false reading?

Accepted Answer

Right bundle branch: We share similar EKGs and I have no heart poblems.  According to a recent article in the European Heart Jounal the prevalence of RBBB that is normal variant is 4 percent for men and 2 percent for women.  RBBB does develop in people with lung problems, especially with COPD or Pulmonary embolus. It can develop in some people who have other processes that effect conduction.

Question 6

ecg: normal sinus rhythm, incomplete right bundle branch block, borderline ecg. dr said right bundle branch block related to my asthma so not worried about it. can someone explain what the rbbb and borderline ecg mean. thanks?

Accepted Answer

Conduction system : Right bundle branch block refers to a change in the electrical conduction system of heart. Can be related to stretching of the heart muscle or minor damage to that area of heart. As isolated finding it is not uncommon and doesn’t indicate any increased cardiac risk by itself.ECG read as borderline because other findings in addition to RBB might merit investigation if they appear on subsequent ECGs

Question 7

right bundle branch block and z-pack (azithromycin)  prescribed for infection. haven't taken yet, any concern for heart issues with rbbb and azithro?

Accepted Answer

BBB: ECG QT interval prolongation can be a concern with azithromycin,the bundle block adds to the measured QT interval ,however  the more relevant measure is the JT interval that ECG machines don't record/measure,consult locally with the prescribing physician.Also don't delay antibiosis with out the prescriber being aware.

Question 8

what is the treatment for a right bundle branch block?  is this serious?

Accepted Answer

Nothing: There is no treatment for this.  It is caused by a delay in the electrical system of your heart.  Usually it just happens, but it can be caused by a previous heart attack, so you should ask your doctor about that.  If it just happened, no heart attack, don't worry too much.  It won't really affect you very much.

Question 9

what are treatments for incomplete right bundle branch block?

Accepted Answer

Placebo, 10 mg: Incomplete rbbb is, in the majority of patients, normal variant caused by simple delay of the right bundle conduction relative to the left bundle's conduction. It is benign (safe), and no specific treatment is recommended or required. Certain other conditions can cause a right bundle branch block, but the treatment is generally focused on those conditions, and not the bundle block.

Question 10

an ecginterprets right bundle branch block, left posterior fascicular block, bifascicular block. i dont' feel any dizziness. is it normal?cure for it?

Accepted Answer

Not normal: You&#x27;ll need an expert evaluation of this ASAP, in addition to further testing and re-evaluation of an ECG.  There are 3 main wiring systems that supply electricity in your heart, allowing it to beat.  The ECG reading suggests that 2 of those 3 are broken, meaning the electrical system in your heart is unreliable.  If that&#x27;s truly the case, it could be dangerous.  Call 911 if passing out/dizzy.
