| Definition / notes: | MD's report: "Bloqueo de rama derecha". Branch or ramus? The case is inguinal hernia. Answerer: right bundle branch block Es nomenclatura suele corresponder a un electrocardiograma y se refiere a una de las ramas del sistema de conducción del que te hablaba ayer. El haz de His, que es uno de esos "cables" se divide en ramas izquierda y derecha, y un bloqueo de una de las dos quiere decir que esa rama no es capaz de conducir el impulso eléctrico o lo ahce peor de lo normal (puede ser completo o incompleto). En el contexto en sí de una hernia, no el veo ningún sentido. Te mando una página de divulgación donde lo explica: "What causes bundle branch block? In order for the left and right ventricles to contract at the same time, an electrical impulse must travel down the right and left bundle branches at the same speed. If there is a block in one of these branches, the electrical impulse must travel to the ventricle by a different route. When this happens, the rate and rhythm of your heartbeat are not affected, but the impulse is slowed. Your ventricle will still contract, but it will take longer because of the slowed impulse. This slowed impulse causes one ventricle to contract a fraction of a second slower than the other. The medical terms for bundle branch block are derived from which branch is affected. If the block is located in the right bundle branch, it is called right bundle branch block. If the block is located in the left bundle branch, it is called left bundle branch block." (1ª ref) "a.) BLOQUEO DE RAMA DERECHA: La activación ventricular alcanza primero la rama izquierda despolarizando el ventrículo izquierdo, alcanzado posteriormente la rama derecha a través de un "salto de barrera" en sentido retrógrado."
