Question 1

is a block in the right bundle branch serious?

Accepted Answer

No: Millions of people have rt bundle blocks, heart function remains normal. As you age, other conduction issues may arise, and of course blood vessel disease, etc.

Question 2

what is a right bundle branch block?

Accepted Answer

Abnormal conduction: The signal to beat is distributed to through the heart by a specialized electrical system. The right bundle is one of the branches of this system. If conduction through the right bundle is slowed or blocked the parts of the heart it serves will contract late, seen as widening of the electrocardiographic qrs-wave. Unless the remainder of the conduction system fails, it usually isn't a problem.

Question 3

Question 4

is right bundle branch block serious?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Right bundle branch block (rbbb) in and of itself is likely not a detrimental issue, however if it happens in the setting of a heart attack, it portends a poor prognosis.

Question 5

can you treat right bundle branch block?

Accepted Answer

Not necessary: Isolated rbbb does not require treatment. Sometimes, bbbs are a market for other problems: cardiomyopathy, endocarditis, lyme disease. In that case the underlying cause should be treated.

Question 6

what are causes of right bundle branch block?

Accepted Answer

Variety of things: Right bundle branch block is due to a conduction problem within the electrical system of the heart.  This can be an isolated electrical problem or a reflection of structural heart disease.

Question 7

can incomplete right bundle branch block heal?

Accepted Answer

: Incomplete right bundle branch block is a not uncommon finding in ECGs of otherwise normal individuals. It is not an
abnormality that will "heal itself" but may be due to rapid heart rates in an otherwise normal heart. Sometimes associated with congenital abnormalities such as an atrial septal defect. The next step is a clinical evaluation followed by  a  review of the  ECG by an experienced cardi

Question 8

what is an incomplete right bundle branch block?

Accepted Answer

Slowing: It means there is a mild slowing of the electrical conduction in a certain part of your heart. In most cases it is an incidental finding and not worrisome.

Question 9

can you explain incomplete right bundle branch block?

Accepted Answer

Bundle branch: Bundle branch block are  refer to abnormalities of electrical activity of the heart and in most cases is not a sign of heart problem.

Question 10

is partial right bundle branch block affected by food?

Accepted Answer

No Effect: Incomplete right bundle branch block is a benign variant of the electrical conduction through the heart. It is not effected by food in any way.
