Patients with Rate-Dependent Left Bundle Branch Block (rdLBBB)

In patients with rate-dependent LBBB, baseline LVEF is a key determinant of the degree of dyssynchrony and the risk of acute LV dysfunction during exercise.

Resumen

RdLBBB is a relative rare clinical entity, which is characterized by sudden onset and typical LBBB, fulfilling criteria of LBBB. The degree of dyssynchrony during rdLBBB seems to be determined by the baseline LVEF, with possible acute LV dysfunction during exercise.
