If both the right and left bundle branches are completely blocked (i.e., "bilateral" BBB), the electrical impulse cannot reach the ventricles. In this case, unless spontaneous electrical impulses arise within the ventricles (a so-called “escape rhythm”), the ventricles stop beating and death occurs. Fortunately, this form of “complete heart block” is relatively uncommon.

Click both of these links and you can see the pattern of real EKGS showing LBBB AND RBBB (you will have to scroll down to see RBBB and LBBB, or you can read the whole thing).
