Hi Sharon , I've been in cardiology since 1983 and I've never heard about it. It's very rare. It suggests very extensive conduction system damage, Your husband is at a higher risk of heart block, fainting and sudden cardiac death, so the insertion of a permanent pacemake may be advisable.The bundle branches are a important part of the cardiac electrical system. The electrical system coordinates muscular contraction to assure that the heart works efficiently as a pump. Did the Dr discuss a pacemaker with you.? They may want to insert one first then do his surgery. Has he ever had a heart attack.?Email me if you have any more questions, take care, DonnaaHealth Question & Answer
