[|Human|] I had a physical today I m 75 and fit, spinning, skiing and walking in golf. I have had pvc s for 50 years recently they have come on strong one night I felt 7 irregular beats in a row. The physical found I have Left bundle branch block and will have echo-cardiogram. The EKG I had asked for today did not show any pvc s which I wished it had. Should I be doing anything else? Thank you, Bob
[|AI|]  Hi, Bob, the left bundle branch block is an electrical problem and could be related to cardiac dysfunction. To investigate the possibility of cardiac dysfunction is requested an echocardiogram. If cardiac dysfunction is confirmed your doctor should begin treatment for this problem. There is no specific treatment for the left bundle branch block, but there is for ventricular dysfunction. You reported to have an active and healthy life, despite his advanced age and this is a great start of treatment if the ventricular dysfunction is confirmed. We must await the outcome of echocardiography to define what you need to do. Meanwhile, continue to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help you. Wish you good health.
