What Does Left Bundle Branch Indicate?
Question: I have been diagnosed with a left bundle branch and am to have a Nuclear stress test. Worst case scenario for someone who just developed this, please?
Brief Answer:
Coronary Artery Disease, at the worst
Detailed Answer:
Dear friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
At the worst, it may mean a recent heart attack (Coronary Artery Disease)
It could be a disease of the nerve (Conduction system) of the heart
It may also be from hypertrophy of the left ventricle (say from blood pressure)
Rarely, an incidental finding
Your doctor is right - in doing the stress imaging study
Take care
Good luck
