Unstable bundle branch blocks may be tachycardia dependent, bradycardia dependent, or rate independent. When appearing at the "critical" rates or "critical" cycle lengths they may seem to be rate independent. Conversely, "true" rate-independent blocks may be reversible or irreversible. Determining if a rate-unrelated block may disappear can be difficult because irreversile bundle branch block seems to develop through a slow process in time during which rate-dependent, rate-independent, and even normal conduction alternate in successive electrocardiograms.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D001919 Bradycardia Cardiac arrhythmias that are characterized by excessively slow HEART RATE, usually below 50 beats per minute in human adults. They can be classified broadly into SINOATRIAL NODE dysfunction and ATRIOVENTRICULAR BLOCK. Bradyarrhythmia,Bradyarrhythmias,Bradycardias
D002037 Bundle-Branch Block A form of heart block in which the electrical stimulation of HEART VENTRICLES is interrupted at either one of the branches of BUNDLE OF HIS thus preventing the simultaneous depolarization of the two ventricles. Fascicular Block,Anterior Fascicular Block,Bundle Branch Block,Left Bundle-Branch Block,Posterior Fascicular Block,Right Bundle-Branch Block,Anterior Fascicular Blocks,Block, Anterior Fascicular,Block, Bundle Branch,Block, Bundle-Branch,Block, Fascicular,Block, Left Bundle-Branch,Block, Posterior Fascicular,Block, Right Bundle-Branch,Blocks, Anterior Fascicular,Blocks, Bundle Branch,Blocks, Bundle-Branch,Blocks, Fascicular,Blocks, Left Bundle-Branch,Blocks, Posterior Fascicular,Blocks, Right Bundle-Branch,Branch Block, Bundle,Branch Blocks, Bundle,Bundle Branch Blocks,Bundle-Branch Block, Left,Bundle-Branch Block, Right,Bundle-Branch Blocks,Bundle-Branch Blocks, Left,Bundle-Branch Blocks, Right,Fascicular Block, Anterior,Fascicular Block, Posterior,Fascicular Blocks,Fascicular Blocks, Anterior,Fascicular Blocks, Posterior,Left Bundle Branch Block,Left Bundle-Branch Blocks,Posterior Fascicular Blocks,Right Bundle Branch Block,Right Bundle-Branch Blocks
D004562 Electrocardiography Recording of the moment-to-moment electromotive forces of the HEART as projected onto various sites on the body's surface, delineated as a scalar function of time. The recording is monitored by a tracing on slow moving chart paper or by observing it on a cardioscope, which is a CATHODE RAY TUBE DISPLAY. 12-Lead ECG,12-Lead EKG,12-Lead Electrocardiography,Cardiography,ECG,EKG,Electrocardiogram,Electrocardiograph,12 Lead ECG,12 Lead EKG,12 Lead Electrocardiography,12-Lead ECGs,12-Lead EKGs,12-Lead Electrocardiographies,Cardiographies,ECG, 12-Lead,EKG, 12-Lead,Electrocardiograms,Electrocardiographies, 12-Lead,Electrocardiographs,Electrocardiography, 12-Lead
D006329 Heart Conduction System An impulse-conducting system composed of modified cardiac muscle, having the power of spontaneous rhythmicity and conduction more highly developed than the rest of the heart. Conduction System, Heart,Conduction Systems, Heart,Heart Conduction Systems,System, Heart Conduction,Systems, Heart Conduction
D006339 Heart Rate The number of times the HEART VENTRICLES contract per unit of time, usually per minute. Cardiac Rate,Chronotropism, Cardiac,Heart Rate Control,Heartbeat,Pulse Rate,Cardiac Chronotropy,Cardiac Chronotropism,Cardiac Rates,Chronotropy, Cardiac,Control, Heart Rate,Heart Rates,Heartbeats,Pulse Rates,Rate Control, Heart,Rate, Cardiac,Rate, Heart,Rate, Pulse
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D013610 Tachycardia Abnormally rapid heartbeat, usually with a HEART RATE above 100 beats per minute for adults. Tachycardia accompanied by disturbance in the cardiac depolarization (cardiac arrhythmia) is called tachyarrhythmia. Tachyarrhythmia,Tachyarrhythmias,Tachycardias
