| − | ===Bundle Branch Block===
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Abnormal ventricular excitation as the result of blockage to the right bundle branch, the left bundle branch, or left anterior fascicular block.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ====Right Bundle Branch Block====
| |
| − | Characterised by the failure or delay of conduction through the right bundle branch. Left ventricle is unaffected.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | =====Causes=====
| |
| − | Pulmonary embolism, heart worm, electrolyte disturbances, congenital diseases etc.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | '''ECG Appearance:''' Wide QRS complex, Wide S wave
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | =====Treatment=====
| |
| − | Treat the underlying cause
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ====Left Bundle Branch Block====
| |
| − | Characterised by the failure of conduction through the left bundle branch. Right ventricle is unaffected.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | =====Causes=====
| |
| − | Congenital abnormalities, myocardial diseases etc.
| |
| − | | |
| − | =====Treatment=====
| |
| − | Treat the underlying cause

| − | | |
| − | '''Left Anterior Fascicular Block'''=characterised by the failure of conduction through the anterior fascicle of the left bundle branch.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | '''Causes:''' Electrolyte abnormalities, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (cat), etc.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | '''ECG Appearance:''' Normal QRS, tall R waves, deep S waves

| − | '''Treatment:''' Treat the underlying cause
| |

| − | ===Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome (Ventricular Preexcitation Syndrome===
| |
| − | | |
| − | *This syndrome occurs when the conduction travels from the SA node and then completely bypasses the AV
| |
| − | node and travels to the bundle of His or the ventricles.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ====Causes====
| |
| − | Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (cats); congenital heart disorders
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | '''ECG Appearance:''' Short PR interval; Prolonged QRS complex; Notch in the R wave
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ====Treatment====
| |
| − | Treatment for tachycardia if necessary: digoxin, quinidine etc.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Sick Sinus Syndrome===
| |
| − | | |
| − | *This is a blanket term used to describe multiple abnormalities of the SA node involving impulse formation and conduction disturbances.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ====Causes====
| |
| − | Myocardial diseases, idiopathic, breed predispositions (e.g. miniature schnauzer)
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | '''ECG:''' Variable depending on the specific SA abnormality
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ====Treatment====
| |
| − | Surgical implantation of a pacemaker; +/- antiarrhythmic treatments[[Category:Altered_Impulse_Formations]]
