• Incomplete Right Bundle Branch Block

  The electrocardiogram on admission showed a regular sinus rhythm with a ventricular rate of 90 beats per minute, a QRS axis at 70o, a 1 st degree atrioventricular block (PR interval 0.24 sec), an incomplete right bundle branch block and non-specific ST-segment [tmj.ro]
