Description

Background

  • Left bundle branch block (LBBB) is a diagnosis often encountered in clinical practice.
  • It can be seen as a harbinger of decreased left ventricular function in the future. LBBB has been associated with new onset congestive heart failure (CHF) and death from cardiovascular diseases.1

Problem Statement

  • LBBB in and of itself is given inadequate follow-up and attention by clinicians. Project AIM: bring to light the delay in follow-up after diagnosis of LBBB.
