From the results of stimulation at right ventricular apex, the starting point of ventricular depolarization, he hypothesised that LBBB should have a monomorphic morphology with QRS axis of -60 degrees and QS in leads II and III. If not, the left bundle branch has slowed, but has persistent conduction. This has been called the <strong>Gressard&#8217;s hypothesis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Parharidis G et al [2]\u00a0also studied the importance of left axis deviation in LBBB. They concluded that the presence of left axis deviation in LBBB had a 41.9% sensitivity and 91.6% specificity for the presence of organic heart disease.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cabrera&#8217;s sign<\/strong> is a notching in the in the ascending limb of the S wave in lead V3 or V4 (0.04 seconds). <strong>Chapman&#8217;s sign <\/strong>is a notching \u2265 0.05 sec in the ascending limb of the R wave in lead I, aVl or V6. Both are taken as features of myocardial infarction in the presence of LBBB.<\/p>\n<p>This ECG also shows a PR interval of 0.2 seconds, sharp P waves in lead II suggesting right atrial overload and prominent negative P waves in V1 suggestive of left atrial overload.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>References<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Gressard A.
