What are the possible interpretations of an EKG?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am wondering if there is anything specific to look for on an EKG to identify a bifascicular block. I am trying to learn how to read EKGs and was wondering if you could help me.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concerns.
Look for a right bundle branch block and axis deviation. If a left anterior or posterior hemiblock is also present, this indicates a bifascicular block. If an AV block (atrioventricular block) is also present, it becomes a trifascicular block. If both the left anterior and posterior blocks combine, it is called a left bundle branch block. If both the left and right bundle branches are blocked, it is referred to as a complete heart block or third-degree AV block. For medical personnel, this is easier to understand, but for a layperson, it may take some time to get used to interpreting an EKG (electrocardiogram).
I hope this helps you.
Thank you.
