Right bundle branch block

My doctor just ordered an echocardiogram after SOB and oxygen level of 94.  What is the prognosis for this disorder?

Thank you for your information - it makes me feel better.  At
age 84 you get a little worried about these things!  Will keep
you posted after my echo on the 14th.

A RBBB (right bundle branch block) refers to the right nerve bundle on your heart. Somwhere in this nerve bundle there is a blockage of the signal that tells your heart chambers when to beat. This is not a serious condition if your your heart structure is normal which is why the echo. They will look at the structure of your heart and make sure everything is in order. A RBBB is failry common and rarely of much prognostic valure.I have it as well.

A Left Bundle Branch Block is a more serious condition which could point to heart disease.
