When the | When the "terminal force" of the QRS in V1 is below the baseline (i.e. QS wave), a LBBB is the most likely diagnosis. | ||
When the | When the "terminal force" of the QRS in V1 is above the baseline (i.e. RSR' wave), it's a RBBB. | ||
If the QRS > 0.12 sec. but the morphological criteria of LBBB or RBBB do not apply, it is called 'interventriculair conduction delay', a general term. | If the QRS > 0.12 sec. but the morphological criteria of LBBB or RBBB do not apply, it is called 'interventriculair conduction delay', a general term. | ||
