Right bundle branch block in complete transposition.

I A Kashani, D Brown, R E Swensson

    International Journal of Cardiology
    |January 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    In infants with complete transposition, right bundle branch block may indicate right ventricular dysfunction. This finding suggests considering alternative surgical approaches beyond intra-atrial repair.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Cardiology
    • Congenital Heart Disease
    • Electrophysiology

    Background:

    • Complete transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is a critical congenital heart defect.
    • Right ventricular conduction anomalies can occur in infants with TGA.
    • The prognostic significance of these anomalies requires further elucidation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the incidence and implications of right bundle branch block (RBBB) in infants with complete TGA.
    • To determine if RBBB is associated with specific clinical presentations or outcomes.
    • To evaluate the potential role of RBBB as an indicator for surgical management.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 26 infants diagnosed with complete TGA within the first year of life.
    • Electrocardiographic (ECG) assessment for the presence and type of RBBB.
    • Correlation of ECG findings with clinical data, including hypoxemia, ventricular size, function, and surgical history.

    Main Results:

    • Two out of 26 infants presented with complete RBBB; 10 showed incomplete RBBB.
    • RBBB was not linked to surgical procedures or cardiac catheterization and was absent at birth.
    • Complete RBBB cases exhibited prolonged severe hypoxemia, dilated right ventricles, and one instance of depressed right ventricular function.

    Conclusions:

    • Incomplete RBBB may suggest right ventricular hypertrophy in complete TGA.
    • Complete RBBB in this population may signify right ventricular dysfunction and myocardial changes.
    • RBBB, particularly complete RBBB, could indicate a need for surgical strategies other than intra-atrial repair.
