Echocardiography of ventricular septal movement in left bundle branch block with left ventricular diastolic overload.
Four patients with left bundle branch block (LBBB) and left ventricular volume overload had sustained posterior ventricular septal systolic motion with no early septal posterior systolic motion. There was earlier than normal peak posterior septal systolic motion and earlier than normal anterior systolic septal motion. It is suggested that volume overload of the left ventricle alters ventricular septal motion in left bundle branch block.
