DOI: 10.1002/clc.23058
Abstract: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is highly beneficial in patients with heart failure (HF) and left bundle branch block (LBBB); however, up to 30% of patients in this selected group are nonresponders. read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.12340
Abstract: Historically, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) response in non‐left bundle branch block (non‐LBBB) patients has been suboptimal in comparison with that observed in left bundle branch block patients. The electrical activation pattern of the left ventricle… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.12580
Abstract: Indications of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) do not include exercise‐induced left bundle branch block, but functional impairment could be improved with CRT in such cases. A 57‐year‐old woman with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (ejection fraction 23%)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.13568
Abstract: AIMS Although increasingly recognized as a distinct pathological entity, left bundle branch block-induced cardiomyopathy (LBBB-ICMP) is not included among the possible aetiologies of acquired dilated cardiomyopathies (DCM). While diagnostic criteria have been proposed, its recognition… read more here.

Abstract: The association between atrial fibrillation (Afib) and sinus and AV nodal dysfunction has previously been reported. However, no data are available regarding the association between Afib and bundle branch block (BBB). read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/joa3.12673
Abstract: A ventricular tachycardia (VT) with a left bundle branch block (BBB) pattern exhibited the earliest activation (EA) at the left ventricular basal septum near the His bundle with no excellent pace map (PM). Radiofrequency ablation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00380-018-1116-6
Abstract: We found that a female infant presenting with left bundle branch block and left ventricular noncompaction carries uninvestigated gene mutations HCN4(G811E), SCN5A(L1988R), DMD(S2384Y), and EMD(R203H). Here, we explored the possible pathogenicity of HCN4(G811E), which results… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12350-018-1418-1
Abstract: Background Though fairly benign reputation, the right bundle branch block (RBBB) can cause left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony (LVMD). Still, the relationship between electrical disturbance and LVMD is partly unclear among these patients. Methods Thirty patients… read more here.
