Left Bundle Branch Block In Young Female Posted For Non Cardiac Surgery

Abstract

Though Left Bundle Branch Block (LBBB) is a common occurrence in general populace , yet it is found in rarity in young subset of patients . We are presenting a case of successful administration of general anaesthesia in a 28 year old female patient with LBBB ab initio posted for laparoscopic cholecystectomy . The patient maintained a status quo while under anaesthesia . Her LBBB neither deteriorated to complete heart block nor reverted to normal sinus rhythm . We hypothesize that such young patients may be taken up for surgery under general anaesthesia after complete cardiological evaluation and a long term follow-up plan may be drawn to monitor any future deterioration in patient’s cardiac status.
