How Can Heart Murmur, LBBB And Hypertension Be Treated In A 59-year-old?

Hi, I m a very healthy/ active 59 year old woman. During a routine doc visit my BP was found to be unusually high for me, 145/80. The doc also heard a heart murmur over my aorta (not previously heard in the past). The doc decided to do an EKG and I was found to have a left bundle branch block. A follow up Echo was normal except for a paradoxical septal wall motion consistent with known bundle branch block. Can you please tell me how this will affect my future health. Am I destined for heart failure?

Hello,

As per my surgical experience, the left bundle branch block can develop further heart issues as hypertension, left ventricular failure or else.

I recommend to discuss the management guidelines for the same with your cardiologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
