Hello , you will find a lot of readers of this forum (myself included), have had this diagnosis. Everyone’s story slightly different, usually starts with a ECG, then further tests to determine what percentage of blockage and or any damage to the heart muscle. This then sets the path of treatment , medication could be the answer, stent fitting, these straight forward. Possibly a bypass maybe required. The tests you are having will give you the correct answers instead of speculating, which can cause you to be anxious. Regards Stephen

I have Incomplete LBBB with QRS complex under 120ms. This is not suggestive of cardiac disease and is quite normal for my age.

If your QRS complex is more than 120ms then it will be LBBB approaching complete LBBB.

It could be reversed if caused by high potassium or halted with medication.

A pacemaker is required if LBBB is severe to complete.

Hi, I have dilated cardiomyopathy with left bundle branch block. I got diagnosed last year. I'm on some really good medication, which has made a massive difference to how I feel. Good luck with your scan, hope all goes well

I got LBBB and waiting for my echo results. My dr thinks it's probably myocarditis due to my history, but waiting to confirm. Good luck, I hope all is well!
