title: [2-year survival in persons with bundle branch block].
abstract: A group of 335 patients was examined. There were 172 men (average age 60.2 +/- 13.3 years) and 163 women (average age 59.3 +/- 11.3 years) with bundle branch block. In the period of two years 21 patients (6.26%) died. The greatest mortality was noted in patients with complete left bundle branch block (15.3%), especially in men (24.1%). The difference between complete left bundle branch block and complete right bundle branch block (chi 2 = 6.73; p < 0.01) was statistically significant. There was no significant difference in the mortality of patients with bifascicular heart block and trifascicular heart block in relation to the mortality of patients with complete right bundle branch block (chi 2 = 0.81; p > 0.05).
