What Does " Slight High-lateral Repolarization Disturbance Secondary To LBBB" Mean?

Posted on Sat, 3 Jan 2015

Question: Had a ECG with Sinus rhythm (slow) and slight high-lateral repolarization disturbance secondary to LBBB . I had two stents put in three years ago. Sorry this is the first time. So did you get my information as I was wondering what it means I have the ECG uploaded?

Brief Answer:
Need more information

Detailed Answer:
hi thanks for the query. I have seen the uploaded ECG.

As you already have cardiac ailment and stent, I need to know whether you had LBBB in previous ecg also or is it new one? Also what are medicines you are taking? as slow heart rate is likely to be related to beta blockers. I don't see any acute issues here and if you don't have chest pain then there is no immediate concern.

please get back to me with old report and current medicines.

The Beta Blocker is Bisoprolol 2.5 mg. 1 x daily.

I also take Crestor 10 mg 1X daily and
Conversyl of 4 mg. 1 x daily.

This is a ECG that I had done today. I don't think I had a LBBB as I have never seen a ECG. I need to have surgery for Hydrocele in the left sac. And I was asked for the ECG.

Brief Answer:
Asymptotic no issues

Detailed Answer:
If you are asymptotic it should be okay to go ahead with surgery. If any symptoms like chest pain or breathless you need further evaluation with echocardiogram, stress thallium etc
