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.

No: An echocardiogram would not pick up a RBBB.
