Incomplete right bundle branch block and vital capacity.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Right bundle branch block (RBBB) is occasionally encountered in young persons who lack any other evidence of overt cardiac disease (Hiss and Lamb, 1962; Lancaster, Schechter, and Massing, 1972). The block may be complete or incomplete, the latter being more common. Right bundle branch block has been studied in relation to body weight, obesity, serum cholesterol and glucose levels, and blood pressure, but the results have been negative (Ostrander, 1964; Kannel et al., 1962). Data presented here suggest that incomplete RBBB is related to vital capacity.

Characteristics and prognosis of incomplete right bundle branch block: an epidemiologic study.
A cohort of 1,960 white men aged 40 to 56 years without initial apparent heart disease and with 11 years of annual rest electrocardiograms and 20 year mortality data was followed in the Chicago Western Electric Company Study. Incomplete right bundle branch block was found in 134 men (6.8%) at entry. During follow-up, 222 men developed such block, an incidence rate of 13.6%. Left axis deviation ...

ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHY is a subject now sufficiently old that it should contain more science than art, partiQularly in view of the sophisticated methods currently available to study the electrical activity of the heart. That many quaint terms have persisted in electrocardiographic nomenclature may be more attributable to their charming lilt than their scientific accuracy. We have long suspected th...
متن کاملThe precordial electrocardiogram in incomplete right bundle branch block.
I N 1917 Rothberger and Winterberg’ published an electrocardiographic record which depicts the gradual clearing of a defect in conduction affecting the right branch of the bundle of His. An attempt to cut this structure in the course of an experiment on a dog blocked it only temporarily. Fortunately, one of the tracings taken spanned the period during which the injured bundle gradually recovere...
متن کاملHigh prevalence of incomplete right bundle branch block in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy without cardiac symptoms.
The exact prevalence and nature of cardiac involvement in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is unknown. Nevertheless, the current opinion is that symptomatic cardiac disease is rare. We performed a cardiac screening [electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiography in the event of ECG abnormalities] in 75 genetically confirmed, ambulant FSHD patients without cardiac symptoms, with an ei...
متن کاملThe early signs of right bundle branch block.
Complete right bundle branch block manifests with a rSR' configuration in right orientated leads and a duration of 0.12 sec or longer. Incomplete right bundle branch block is perceived as this classic rSr' configuration and a duration of less than 0.12 sec. This presentation reflects the early development of right bundle branch block which first manifests with a hitherto undescribed sign, namel...
