Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sinus tachycardia with right bundle branch block is characterized by a fast heart rate due to the increased activity of the sinoatrial node, as well as a delay in the conduction of electrical impulses through the right ventricle. While hypertension and congestive heart failure may be associated with certain types of heart block, they are not specific to sinus tachycardia with right bundle branch block. Unconsciousness is also unlikely to occur simply as a result of this condition.
