Definition

Cessation of appropriate electrical conduction down either the left of right bundle branch.

Left bundle branch block

Pathophysiology

Essentially, the following can cause LBBB: aortic stenosis, dilated cardiomyopathy, MI, CAD

ECG Changes

LBBB ECG changes.

Think WiLLiaM. There's a "W" in V1 and an "M" in V6 in Left BBB.
