Survival of patients with left bundle-branch block after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest

Abstract

Complete left bundle-branch block (LBBB) is an adverse prognostic sign of mortality and morbidity especially when associated with underlying heart disease. The purpose of this report is to describe the short-term (hospital period) as well as long-term (1-year) survival in patients admitted after OHCA in whom the LBBB morphology is seen on the electrocardiogram (ECG).
