A diagnostic ECG sign of a ventricular aneurysm (VA) consequent to a myocardial infarction (MI) in the presence of complete left bundle branch block was recently described, and consists of the presence of ST-segment elevation (+ST), instead of the expected ST-segment depression (-ST), in leads V4-6. Generally, complete right bundle branch block (RBBB) is associated with -ST in ECG leads V1-3. We hypothesized that stable +ST, instead of the expected -ST in leads V1-3 in patients with RBBB could be also diagnostic of a VA and other severe segmental left ventricular dysfunction (VA/SSD). Thus, this study was performed to explore the feasibility of using the ECG to diagnose a VA/SSD in the presence of RBBB, and to evaluate the determinants of such diagnosis.
