      • The current leaves the AV node down a bundle of cells termed the "bundle of His" located inferior to the AV node in the interventricular septum. The bundle of His then transmits the conduction down two bundle branches that arc throughout the two ventricles, named the right and left bundle branches.

  2. Jun 11, 2022 · Bundle branch block. Electrical impulses that cause your heart to beat (contract) start in the heart's upper right chamber (right atrium) and travel to the lower chambers (ventricles). In bundle branch block, the pathway these impulses follow is delayed or blocked.

  3. Sep 4, 2023 · Treatment. Complications. 2 min read. Impulses, or electrical signals, travel through both the left and right chambers of your heart to make it pump. But if the pathway is blocked, the impulses may...

  4. May 5, 2022 · A bundle branch block (BBB) is a blockage or disruption to the electrical signal that causes your heart to beat. BBB can affect your right ventricle (right bundle branch block), left ventricle (left bundle branch block) or both ventricles.

Reading time: 27 minutes. Myofibril-rich cells – which are the same as regular cardiomyocytes. Myofibril-poor cells – resemble Purkinje cells; are numerous in the pathway.

  6. How your heart works. The human heart works like a pump sending blood around your body to keep you alive. It’s a muscle, about the size of your fist, in the middle of your chest tilted slightly to the left. What is the function of the human heart? Each day, your heart beats around 100,000 times.

  7. Jan 26, 2024 · Left bundle branch: Sends electric impulses to your left ventricle. Right bundle branch: Sends electric impulses to your right ventricle. Bundle of His: Sends impulses from your AV node to the Purkinje fibers. Purkinje fibers: Make your heart ventricles contract and pump out blood.

  8. A bundle branch block refers to a condition that arises from a blocked electrical pathway in the heart, causing the left and right sides of your heart to beat out of sync. When a person has a “right” bundle branch block, the right side of the heart beats slightly later than the left side.
