title: [Effectiveness of exercise echocardiography in the diagnosis of left bundle branch block. A case report].
abstract: A left bundle branch block is very often suggestive of cardiac diseases. Left bundle branch block is also present with angina in patients with normal coronary arteries. We report a case of a man with a left bundle branch block in which the most effective, rapid and economic method of diagnosis was exercise echocardiography. Different diagnostic techniques are discussed and compared.
