Normal Cardiac Conduction

Key Points SA Node: Initiates electrical impulses; primary pacemaker (60–100 bpm). AV Node: Slows conduction to permit ventricular filling. Bundle of His: Transmits impulses from the AV node to ventricles;…

Right Bundle Branch Block (RBBB)

Key Points RBBB delays right ventricular activation. The left ventricle depolarizes normally via the left bundle; the right ventricle is activated late through myocardial spread. ECG hallmark: wide QRS and…

Left Bundle Branch Block (LBBB)

Key Points: Definition: LBBB occurs when electrical conduction through the left bundle branch is delayed or blocked, resulting in asynchronous and delayed activation of the left ventricle (LV) and a…

Trifascicular Block

Key Points Definition: Trifascicular block describes ECG evidence of impaired conduction across all three fascicles: right bundle branch (RBB), left anterior fascicle (LAF), and left posterior fascicle (LPF). Common Usage:…

Sinoatrial Exit Block

Key Points Definition: SA exit block occurs when the sinus node generates impulses that are blocked before they can activate the right atrium, leading to dropped P waves on the…

Unifasicular Block

Key Points Definition: Unifascicular block refers to conduction delay or interruption in a single fascicle of the ventricular conduction system: the right bundle branch (RBB), left anterior fascicle (LAF), or…

Left Bundle Branch Block (LBBB): DDx

Key Point Overview: Left bundle branch block (LBBB) is an intraventricular conduction delay that results from a block in the left bundle branch of the heart’s electrical conduction system. It…

Sodium Channel Blocker Toxicity

Key Points: Recognizing the Danger: Sodium channel blocker toxicity can present with a variety of ECG changes that are critical to recognize, especially in patients with altered mental status or…
