Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A twenty year follow up of a selected, community population with complete right and left bundle branch block is reviewed by comparative mortality analysis. In this population, where cases and controls were free of hypertension and heart disease at entry, the presence of complete right bundle branch block does not have excess mortality. Complete left bundle branch block exhibits excess total and cardiac mortality.
