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 "terminal force" of the QRS in V1 is below the baseline (i.e. QS wave), a LBBB is the most likely diagnosis. | ||
When the "terminal force" of the QRS in V1 is above the baseline (i.e. RSR' wave), it's a RBBB. | When the "terminal force" of the QRS in V1 is above the baseline (i.e. RSR' wave), it's a RBBB. |
