Description
Echocardiography (2-D echo) is now the preferred imaging modality for patients with left bundle branch block (LBBB). The prevalence of potential etiologies of LBBB has not been extensively studied by cardiac MRI (CMR).
Subject
An institutional imaging database was queried for all patients with LBBB who had undergone CMR, constituting the study cohort. The prevalence of left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC), prominent LV trabeculation (without meeting diagnostic criteria of LV non-compaction), left ventricular hypertrophy, coronary artery disease (CAD), and severe aortic valve disease were assessed, based on CMR findings. Findings from prior 2-D echo studies were tabulated, by etiology.
