Absence or low individual and public risk
Left bundle-branch block, unspecified - what does this mean
Left bundle-branch block is a type of heart blockage caused by a disruption in the electrical signals that control the contraction of the heart's left ventricle. it occurs when the electrical signals become blocked or delayed, causing the left ventricle to beat slower and weaker than normal. this can lead to decreased blood flow to the body, resulting in symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, and shortness of breath.
What happens during the disease - left bundle-branch block, unspecified
Left bundle-branch block is a type of conduction disorder of the heart, in which the electrical signal that causes the heart to beat is delayed or blocked in the left bundle branch of the heart's electrical conduction system. this leads to an abnormal heart rhythm, known as a left bundle branch block pattern, which can cause the heart to beat too slowly or too quickly. the exact cause of left bundle-branch block is unknown, but it is thought to be related to underlying heart disease, such as coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, or hypertension.

Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: To improve the flow of electrical signals through the heart
- Prescribe medications to improve the flow of electrical signals through the heart
- Prescribe medications to reduce the risk of arrhythmias
- Perform an electrocardiogram (ECG) to monitor the electrical activity of the heart
- Perform an echocardiogram to evaluate the structure and function of the heart
- Perform a cardiac catheterization to evaluate the coronary arteries
- Perform an electrophysiology study to evaluate the electrical activity of the heart
- Implant a pacemaker or defibrillator to regulate the heart rate
- Prescribe lifestyle modifications, such as diet and exercise
- Refer to a cardiologist for further evaluation and treatment
