The size of the fascicles is highly variable as described by Tawara 2 more than 100 years ago ( Figs. The major objection stems from the fact that the LBB does not divide into two discrete fascicles, but it divides into two or three broad fascicle, then rapidly fans out over the entire left ventricle. However, there are many objections to its use in evaluating the LBB system. 1 also noted that one in four had relatively early activation of the right ventricular apical septum, but activation of the septum never occurred prior to activation of the right ventricular free wall. showed that most individuals have the moderator band as the main source of right ventricular activation. Mapping studies of the RBB by Durrer et al. In some patients there appears to be a small continuation of the RBB distal to the moderator band toward the apical septum, which is also supplied by extensions of the moderator band and Purkinje fibers. In Tawara’s text a branch from the RBB in the moderator band gives rise to Purkinje fibers that subsequently activate the septum ( Fig. Purkinje fibers extend from the moderator band to the remainder of the RV. The septal band gives rise to the moderator band, which extends to the anterior papillary muscle at the apical third of the right ventricular free wall. In humans the RBB has its major route from the His bundle through the musculature of the ventricular septum. It is possible because the anatomy of the RBB is generally uniform. This technique may be useful in evaluating conduction over the RBB, particularly if simultaneous measurements from the LBB are also obtained from the catheter and/or if the entire pattern of right ventricular activation is determined intraoperatively. Measurement of activation times at different areas of the ventricles has been suggested as a means of indirectly assessing conduction properties of the right bundle branch (RBB) and the multiple divisions of the left bundle branch (LBB). ICD-10-CM I45.4 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.Because it is often difficult, if not impossible, to measure conduction times and refractory periods directly from the individual fascicles via catheter, identification of specific conduction defects usually depends on recognition of an altered pattern of ventricular activation on the surface ECG. It is caused by damage of one of the bundle branches, resulting in the delay or obstruction of the conduction of electrical impulses.
