A member asked:

I have been diagnosed with rbbb and left anterior fascicular block. did 48-hour holter and cardio recommends pacemaker. i rarely have symptoms.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

More info needed: one does not need a pacemaker for rbbb and lafb, therefore, you need to ask cardiologist what is the indication for a pacemaker and if the answer doesn't satisfy you- seek a second opinion and obtain copy of the 48 hr. holter to bring to that appt.

I had a dual chamber pacemaker placed on 3/8/21. Placed due to bradycardia and syncope. After placement I had many ectopic beats. A 24 hour Holter monitor was placed and the results were normal sinus rhythm with very frequent ectopic beats. Normal?
