Left Bundle Branch Block

[@Mr01101967]

I’m 54 years old man . Just been diagnosed by GP LBBB . Currently admitted in hospital. I never felt chest pain but slowly I was feeling out of breath. Your video is excellent and I have understood it more now as ever before. Need all of your prayers to get back to a normal life.

[@DonnaHanna]

Hello Saeed. Im new to this channel. How are you doing since your hospitalization? I was diagnosed with LBBB per EKG. Last week, the doc did a nuclear stress test & this week the doc is doing a carotid artery echo . Afterwards he'll explain the results. Hopefully I'll be cleared clear for shoulder surgery. I am 68 yo was diagnosed with HTN last year.

[@shail4207]

I'm not a Dr, but feeling out of breathe can be environment (cold) induced OR in line with your peer aged people OR can be induced after certain physical activity. What's important is what's your 2D echo & other subsequent tests or showing. If they are fine, then don't worry , enjoy life; you are absolutely normal 😇

[@ismailnaikwadi4585]

Really he has explained in simple words, without using complex words. I am a LBBB patient and I was much more educated. Almighty bless you.

[@musty2785]

This is by far the best explanation of the bundle blocks. I was diagnosed with the left one about 6 years ago. I also have micro angina. I have seen 4 different cardiologists and none have been able to explain it so clearly. I would like to thanks and pay tribute to this great human being for his generosity, inspiration and humanity. The great gift the mankind is knowledge. Take care

[@buster9106]

Excellent video. I have a life-threatening LBBB. I have a biventricular pacemaker with defibrillator. Three months after it was implanted, I went into cardiac arrest because of a fatal arrhythmia. So I have dilated cardiomyopathy and ventricular dyssynchrony. And it's idiopathic. I understand it's actually common for this type of heart condition to have no discernible underlying cause. This video finally explained to me how you can have an electrical block in one of your ventricles and yet it can still pump. I didn't understand that the electrical impulses could be carried through other heart muscles to compensate. I'm grateful for the knowledge.

[@shruti41]

how are you now

[@dianestanley1503]

Thank you so much! I am having infusion back surgery next week and just found out that I have LBBB. I was shocked! I wasn't sure if they would cancel my surgery or not. I have not received that call yet but was concerned. You have explained this so well and I feel a whole lot better about my situation.

[@gillie454]

Thank you for such an informative talk on LBBB. I was diagnosed with LBBB and cardio myopathy almost seven years ago. My angiogram reviled that I had not had an heart attack and that my arteries were not blocked. My echocardiogram showed that my ejection fraction was down and that I had an enlarged heart. I was fitted with a Biventrical pacemaker, since then my enlarged heart has returned to a normal size and my EF is on the low side of normal. I feel very lucky. I'm now undergoing tests at Guy's hospital in the ICCC (Inherited cardiac conditions clinic) as there is no obvious reason for my condition. Thank you once again for your time producing these wonderful talks. Kind regards Graham

[@allen31951]

I have been recently diagnosed with atrial fib and have been soaking up as much info as I can on my condition. You have a gift to be able to explain and communicate so clearly and practically in an understandable way for the average non-medical person. Thanks and please keep doing what you do.

If you doctor said you or loved one have LBBB this is a well worth the 15 minutes. You'll understand what it means and the implications. Highly recommended!

[@beverlyhoward3512]

I have learned more from u than my doctor, thank you.

[@sathishkumar-dt4zc]

Thank you, Brother. My mother was just diagnosed with LBBB. Your explanation was so good and I feel more confident about the subject than before

[@jagmohanbakshi4051]

I am LBBP WHAT precautions I should take in my daily life I think I am LBBP by birth also I am having high blood pressure problem also

[@sathishkumar-dt4zc]

@@jagmohanbakshi4051 it is nothing to be worried about actually, but get medical check up every 3 months to monitor your health and if you get any symptoms like dizziness and chest pain, take your emergency bills that your doctor prescribed and consult the doc immediately. Taking tablets daily is not necessary for everyone but again you should check with your doctor before making any decision

[@DonnaHanna]

@@jagmohanbakshi4051 Hi Jagmohan. Im glad I founf this channel. I too was diagnosed with LBBB last week. I had a nuclear stress test-where you are injected with a radioactive substance to trace the electrical pattern in one's heart.Next is an ECHO of the carotid artery-next Ill get the results. I may have inherited this condition from my father.I'll talk to my cardio doc about this possibility. My dad was diagnosed with an enlarged heart in his early 30s-I thought it was because he smoked like a chimney in the Army-he died at 62 during heart surgery for during repair of a thoracic aneurysm- so sad. His father died from a heart attack at 62. Inherited??? What can you share with me about your condition?

[@glambuster]

Thank you ! Diagnosed with left branch block last night, awaiting an appointment to investigate futther. Excellent explanation.

[@ThirdCoastlive]

So concise and informative, helps bring resolve in understanding especially before 1st appointment with a cardiologist for further evaluations. This is a must see video. Thanks so much!

[@justjane1984]

I’m a 75 yo female just diagnosed with LBBB. I’ve worn a Holter monitor, had an Echocardiogram, and nuclear medicine stress test. In 4 days I see my cardiologist for results and I’m feeling quite stressed. Thank you very much for your clear explanation of this condition.

[@j.a.b.3548]

Hopefully it turned out positively.. hope you are doing well

[@lulujohnson1086]

You are the best dr! You explained so easy and simple words about this issues!

[@RickSmith1020]

My mother just had an EKG yesterday indicating LBBB and she is going for further testing (cardiac stress, etc). She is a CHF patient, so regularly visits her cardiologist. I'm a bundle of nerves and hope everything works out. Thank you for this clear description.

[@teresaadkins9998]

Thank you. You did a GREAT job so the new patient gets an understanding on what's going on and you told it in a way a lay person can understand it. Thank you so much.

[@julianmota3990]

I appreciate your detailed explanation of LBBB. It does help.

[@YorkCardiology]

thank yoU!

[@sallyr4057]

Thank you so much for this very clear explanation of LBBB. I was diagnosed with this just last week, and although my GP has been excellent, this is a far clearer explanation. (I’m aware aware GPs aren’t given enough time to spend with us patients) Your video has reassured me. I’m waiting for many further investigations to happen, but I am less worried now. Now I understand the physiology. Thank you again.

[@positivelybeautiful1]

Thank you Doctor for this very informative video, explained in Lamen’s terms. I watched this video with my 76 y.o. Bf, and he really appreciated it. Thank you for your true compassion, the caring of others, especially with us, strangers.

How's he feeling now

[@crossafrica]

Thank you SO much for a though and understandable explanation of Left Bundle Branch Block. I had a stent placed in Jan. and when reading my online "Patient's notes" saw..."Left Bundle Branch Block" I had no idea what it meant. I thought it was a blockage. I am making though all your videos and am finding them so helpful. Thank you again for helping us understand the magnificent ♥

you explain that much better than my doctor , Now both my right and left are blocked but my doctor at my age 66 said thats normal nothing to worry about,, but i think it is the information in this video made me understand just whats going on with my heart thanks so much for this video

[@karenoheare6770]

Thank you for a clear explanation of LBBB....although my treadmill stress test ECG showed LBBB I was not told about it by the cardiologist and only found out when I got my medical information from hospital archives. As a cardiac nurse I was not terribly pleased by the lack of proper communication...still don’t know whether LBBB was caused by the stress test or was it long standing because of hypertension. Your videos are invaluable.

[@varuny109]

How are you doing know ...? Even my mom got that i am scared

[@MilanoNs]

Lbb is caused by MVP.

[@robinalexander1765]

thank you for this video , I was diagnosed with a lone left BBB. Durning hand surgery , I was very anxious about it , until I saw your video explaining the condition 🙂

[@Sand24]

Wow...great info once again. So much to learn just about the heart💓

[@elainegoad2111]

Thank you ! Suggestion from an artist: 1. Draw your picture on paper. 2. Get some clear acetate (roll from art supply store) and a black marker that will write without smearing (permanent) on the acetate. 3. Place some clear acetate over your drawing and tape it so it won't move. 4. Trace your drawing onto the acetate. 5. Hold up the acetate with the drawing with the back to the camera and we will see the picture the exact way you drew the original. Old technique but it works ! We love your videos and the understanding we get from your explanations !

I'm 49 and was being prepped for surgery, when the anesthesiologist noticed my ecg was completely different to the one on the screen. After a 12 point ecg, I was told that at some point since my pre ams, I had suffered a cardiac event. My surgery was postponed, pending investigation. I had my Echocardiogram today, and was diagnosed with LBBB. I am praying now that my surgery can go ahead.

[@paulinegordon4462]

I’m 53 and was recently diagnosed with LBBB after a ECG/EKG a cardiac sonogram and a stress test. Thank you for explaining LBBB so well and in very simple terms. The cardiologist has recommended a nuclear heart test for further analysis 🧐🙏🏾

[@estherssebbowa3043]

Great video -your explanation is very good - might you consider adding the Sgarbossa Criteria which as you know is now used to diagnose a heart attack in face of a pre existing Left Bundle Brunch block. The whole concept of "close your eyes after you see a LBBB "is by and large in some schools of thought old and out now. Otherwise I loved your video - let me look up your RBBB.

No doctor knows what caused mine and I was told I would be fine at first. Was dx in my 30's and then found out I was in HF. I do have a lot of stress in my life and palpitations don't help but I wish I could find the answer. I at present have a PM to keep my e/f normal.

what does it mean when you are told you have an incomplete left branch bundle block?

[@lebalori]

I recently was diagnosed in the ER on ECG with left bundle branch block with left axis deviation. They sent me home with no answers or treatment. Now a cardiologist from the same heart group says no there’s no LBBB that they measured the QRS in my PVCs instead of sinus rhythm ? My QRS was 140. Is that right ? I went to ER because I had difficulty breathing and severe chest pain. I do get a lot of PVCS and PACS. I need a electrophysiologist to re read my ECG. they did not do a echo on my heart. My last ECHO was 3 yrs ago.

I would be so grateful if you could offer some insight into my situation. Twice a left bundle branch blockage has been detected on ECG's but no investigations completed. Following my 3rd TIA in 2 years, l wore a heart holster to see if there was any correlation between the TIA's and my heart. The readings have revealed l had a single episode of a four second pause associated with ventricular escape beat. How would you advise me to proceed and what is the significance. I will be grateful for your advice.

[@sedition1142]

Thank you so much for this video. I have a better understanding now. My dad has heart arrhythmia. He has had Cardioversion twice but has now for a 3rd time gone back into arrhythmia. He has been diagnosed with LBBB and after wearing a 24hr heart monitor which they said in the letter the ECG could not be read properly (from your video I’m guessing that’s because of the LBBB) and that he has Bradycardia. I am always terribly worried about something happening because of these diagnoses and think maybe he needs a pacemaker fitted. He is also overweight which can complicate the matter.

Hello, is it likely to get AV block in the near future if you have this problem? Because if the right bundle has to take over all the time and since you said the right bundle is laying more superficial, than isn’t likely that it will go in block too sooner than later? Thanks in advance for your answer.

[@myfanwyrees2987]

Thank you very much. I have Ischemic heart disease rich was diagnosed some 5/6 years ago. Although saddened, I was not surprised as this condition is a family trait. I have recently been advised that I also have a left branch block with a left deviated axis. At the moment, I am Asymptomatic. However, I wish desperately to return to my Aqua aerobics class. I have not attended for over a year because no one will give me the go-ahead. I must admit that when working out, my heart did beat at a considerable level, but, also recovered extremely quickly. In light of the above, and being an expert, do you feel it wise to return? I would be extremely grateful for your expert opinion. Thank you very much .
