in the Insurence Heart exam, Doctor told me , i got ¨Bundle Branch Block¨ - BRII, What can I expect?

Question

Im 42, and im O.K. , all exams are Ok. very good Health
But I got BRII
I do exercise, and im a Happy man

Answer 1

Your heart has an electrical impulse that causes it to beat. The impulse first travels to the upper chambers and then the lower chambers, which are called ventricles. The electrical impulses travel down both the right and left sides at exactly the same time causing the right and left ventricles to contract (beat) at the same time.

With a bundle branch block, there is a block causing a detour on either the R. or L. side. Both sides will still contract but just won't contract at the same time because the impulse has to take a longer route to get to the side that has the block.

Lots of the time the person with the block, like yourself, feels just fine but the heart may not be getting as much oxygen enriched blood that it normally would.

If it's not bad your doctor will probably just want to have you come in for regular exams to make sure it doesn't get worse.

Best of luck!

Answer 2

The heart has its own pacemaker, called the SA node. This is a specialized group of cells in the heart's right upper chamber (right atrium). Somewhere between 60 and 100 times a minute, this pacemaker emits an electrical impulse. This impulse then travels throughout the heart on a specified route. As the impulse passes through the heart, the heart muscle contracts (beats). The impulse first travels through the upper chambers (the atria). Before it can go to the lower chambers (the ventricles), it must pass through one small group of cells called the AV node. The AV node is between the atria and the ventricles. After the impulse goes through this AV node, it goes along a track called the "bundle of His." From there, this bundle divides into a right bundle and a left bundle. These two bundles go to the right and left lower chambers of the heart. All of this is much like following the roads on a freeway map.


What is bundle branch block?
Normally, the electrical impulse travels down both the right and left branches at the same speed. Thus, both ventricles contract at the same time. But occasionally there's a block in one of the branches. This doesn't mean that one of the ventricles won't contract. It just means that impulses must travel to the affected side by a detour that slows them down. That means one ventricle contracts a fraction of a second slower than the other. Usually if there's nothing else wrong, a person with bundle branch block shows no symptoms. But a bundle branch block shows up as an abnormality when the electrical impulses through the heart are recorded with an electrocardiogram (ECG).

If you have bundle branch block, it may have only been noticed when you had an ECG. You may feel fine. However, there's something wrong with the blocked bundle. For instance, it might mean that a small part of your heart isn't getting enough oxygen-rich blood. That's why, if you have bundle branch block, your physician will want to see you regularly to be sure no other changes occur. You may have bundle branch block for many years and still feel fine, but it's important to have regular check-ups

Answer 3

bundle branch block means there is obstruction in the pathway of the branch(right or left)carrying impulse for heart beat.sa node generates the heart beat-later impulse reaches av node passing through the atrium causing contraction of atrium .later impulse pass through purkinje fibres and get divided to right and left branches-causing contraction of the ventricals....
when there is block ventricals do not contract at the required time of heart cycle.
the left bbb is usually a consequence of underlying disease like myocarditis ,congenital heart conditions ect'''.whereas the right bundle branch block need not
symptoms varies depending on the underlying condition.some develop no symptoms at all.unless the block located in infranodal av block.its usually detected through routine ecg,or auscultation.check for youyr heart rate if its slow it needs attention.as for the treatment there is no specific treatment for bbb.the underlying cause is treated.
what you require is a regular check up monitoring your heart rate and your physiological parameters to avoid risk of sudden manifestations...because it is better to prevent than cure..

Answer 4

Maybe a pace-maker.

But only your Doctor knows for sure.

Answer 5

a pace-maker.
