A
  • Mean QRS duration
    • ► 120 ms - Adults
    • > 100 ms - Children 4-16 years
    • > 90 ms - Children < 4 years
  • Late forces of QRS complex should be negative (terminal S wave in V1)
  • Broad notched or slurred R wave in leads I, aVL, V5, V6 and
    • occasional RS pattern in V5 and V6 attributed to displaced transition of QRS complex
  • Absent q waves in leads I, V5, V6
    • but in lead aVL, a narrow q wave may be present in the absence of myocardial pathology
  • Delayed onset of intrinsicoid deflection (> 60 ms from beginning of QRS complex to peak of R wave) in leads V5 and V6 but normal in leads V1-V3 when small initial r waves can be discerned in these leads

93
Q

Describe the ST/T wave changes in presence of LBBB

A
  • ST and T waves are usually opposite in direction of QRS complex
    • Positive T waves in leads with upright QRS complexes may be normal (positive concordance)
    • Depressed ST segments and/or negative T waves in leads with negative QRS complexes (negative concordance) are typically abnormal and may even represent myocardial injury
  • LBBB may change the mean QRS axis in the frontal plane (to the right, left or superior axis) and in some cases, this may occur in a rate-dependent manner
