Comprehensive analysis of right fascicular and right bundle branch blocks: A multi-center study

Electrocardiographic patterns of right bundle branch and fascicular blocks were comprehensively analyzed in a two-phase study. The research aimed to address the scarcity of literature and the absence of standardized diagnostic criteria for these conditions. It revealed a weak correlation between the cardiac axis and age and highlighted the high misdiagnosis rate of these blocks. Furthermore, it discussed the challenges in fulfilling existing diagnostic criteria. The study emphasizes the need for a more precise understanding of right ventricular conduction disorders and the importance of developing robust diagnostic criteria.

Right fascicular blocks: A case series and a comprehensive electrocardiographic analysis

The main trunk of the right bundle branch divides into an anterior, middle (lateral) and posterior fascicle. This article describes the right anterior and posterior fascicular block. They present a diagnostic challenge and are often overlooked during diagnostic processes. The studied patients were young adults whose electrocardiographic tracings were registered at the Mexican Faculty of Medicine of La Salle University. The presence of delayed R-peak time in aVR and V1, along with the described ventricular complex morphologies, and a right or left deviation of the cardiac axis exceeding +60°, may be suggestive of right fascicular blocks.
