Left bundle branch block and right bundle branch block

Left Bundle Branch Block

by vhart - 2019-12-06 15:39:47

Hello,

I have left bundle branch block and had very low EF.  I had a biventricular pacer installed 4 years ago.  I was lucky and my EF is now low normal. Took a bit to get used to the idea of a machine in my chest, but the bottom line is that it works.  Life is better.  Not sure if the same pacers work for right bundle branch.

His Bundle Pacing

The bundle of His is above the left and right  bundles, so a PM in the His bundle won't help. This is a case where a biventricular PM is required.

His Bundle Pacing

His pacing is a ventricle lead placement option. It places the ventricular lead in the "bundle of His", which is the bunch of nerves that transfer the electrical signals from the AV node to the LB and RB. Since both your LB and RB are broken, there is no point in placing the leads in the His bundle. The signal still wouldn't get to the ventricles.

LBB and RBB are serious enough. Your heart will still beat but at a very low rate. It's not going to get better. LBB + RBB is more or less the same as a complete heart block.

How big are the motors? How close do you work fo them? How much current does the welding equipment deliver? Your best answer will come from your EP. You can also look up the recommendations from the PM's website.

I think definiteky explore the under the pec suggestion ..... if only under the skin when doing OLY lifts ( front squat - cleans ) it will be something to be aware of- probably manageable but just something to consider.

there is a lady on here who has been paced for sometime that actively xfits...... she is an excellent resource concerning such a matter .

i was active in it until my family felt I was behaving cultish and they did an intervention on me ! Lol 😂-  I would show up an hour early, warm up/stretch so I would be ready for the warm up .... then stick around an hour after class to strength train - I was exercising so I could get better at ..... exercise lol 😂.  
 

I wish you the very best and you have a huge advantage being fit as your recovery will be that much smoother ! You will be WODDING in no time !!
