Protective Role of False Tendon in Subjects with Left Bundle Branch Block: A Virtual Population Study
Table 5
For a healthy heart, the same heart with left bundle branch block (LBBB) and the same heart with direct connected false tendon (FT) to the ventricular free wall and LBBB times are compared.
The time the action potential needs from the activation of the Bundle of His to the first activation in the left ventricle (LV) and right ventricle (RV) are compared, and the time elapsing from the first activation in the LV/RV to the last activation in the LV/RV. This reveals that in case of LBBB the RV and LV are not synchronous in activation, but a FT reinstates part of the synchrony.
