Using this approach and the algorithms below <cite>segal</cite>  the exit site can be estimated with reasonable accuracy (PPV around 70%). In these algorhythms, bundle branch block was defined as “left” or “right” based on QRS morphology in lead V1; right bundle branch block (RBBB) pattern was defined by a mono-, bi-, or triphasic R wave or qR in V1; LBBB pattern was defined by a QS, rS, or qrS in V1.
