Key result
In patients with acute myocardial infarction, in-hospital mortality was comparable between those with right bundle branch block (14.3%) and left bundle branch block (13.1%, p=0.661).
Why the study?
Does the presence of right bundle branch block compared to left bundle branch block affect in-hospital mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Observational (n=6,742)
Yes

Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
In patients with acute myocardial infarction, the presence of right bundle branch block is associated with a similarly high in-hospital mortality rate (14.3%) as left bundle branch block (13.1%).

Roháč et al. (2010) conducted an observational in Acute myocardial infarction (n=6,742). Right bundle branch block (RBBB) vs. Left bundle branch block (LBBB) was evaluated on In-hospital mortality (p=0.661). In patients with acute myocardial infarction, in-hospital mortality was comparable between those with right bundle branch block (14.3%) and left bundle branch block (13.1%, p=0.661).
