Understanding Other and Unspecified Right Bundle-Branch Block
Other and unspecified right bundle-branch block (RBBB) is a heart condition that affects the flow of electrical signals through the heart. The right bundle branch is one of two pathways that carry electrical signals from the heart's upper chambers to the lower chambers. When there is an issue with this pathway, it can cause a delay or blockage in the signal, resulting in RBBB.
Other and unspecified RBBB is a catch-all term that includes any form of RBBB that does not fit into a specific category. This can make it difficult to diagnose and treat, as the underlying cause may not be immediately apparent.
