Key result
In patients with left bundle branch block, left ventricular hypertrophy was the most common echocardiographic finding, present in 74.75% of the study population.
Why the study?
LBBB is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular manifestations and adversely influences outcomes, but clinical profiles and imaging parameters can provide insight into its pathophysiology and progression.
Cross-Sectional (n=99)
No
In patients with LBBB, the most common presenting symptoms are dyspnea and chest pain, with hypertension being the most frequent comorbidity.
Adds observational data on LBBB clinical and echo profiles; hypothesis-generating for progression and management.
Background: LBBB is associated with higher risk of cardiovascular manifestations. It is an important finding that affecting diagnostic and clinical management of many patients and adversely influencing their outcomes. Clinical profile and imaging parameters can give insight into pathophysiology and progression of LBBB. Aims And Objectives: Study clinical profile and echocardiographic parameters in subjects with left bundle branch block. Material and methods: Study design: This was a single centre, cross sectional, descriptive and observational study study done on 99 patients with LBBB in a tertiary care hospital over period of 18 months from October 2019 to March 2021. Enrolled patients underwent 2D echocardiography. Statistical analysis: Appropriate statistical tests were applied using SPSS trial v21 for analysis; p-value. Result: Out of total 99 patients with LBBB majority of patients belonged to age group of 61- 70 years (35.35%). It was observed that mean age group of all patients was 65.51± 10.70. Total 50 (50.51%) were males and 49 (49.49%) patients were females. Dyspnoea (57.58%) and cardiac chest pain (49.49%) were the most frequent presenting complains. The majority of patients presented in the study were Hypertensive (52.52), followed by coronary artery disease (44.44), diabetes (37.37).

Potharkar et al. (2022) conducted a cross-sectional in Left bundle branch block (n=99). Left bundle branch block was evaluated on Clinical profile and echocardiographic parameters. In patients with left bundle branch block, left ventricular hypertrophy was the most common echocardiographic finding, present in 74.75% of the study population.
