I would just like to add to the other answers, a great book, The ECG Made Easy, by John R. Hampton, published by Churchill Livingstone. It does what it says on the cover.

identifying lbbb can only be done on a 12 lead ecg, not on the standard 3 lead which is the most frequently carried out.
it appears as a notch in the qrst segment, depending on which way the notch goes and how wide determins if it left or right bundle branch block.
lbbb frequently occurs after some one has had a heart attack

Gangadhar`s answer is correct. But I can simplify by adding left lead QRS are notched.
