Introduction
Right bundle branch block, commonly referred to as right conduction block, generally cannot resolve spontaneously. It may be observed in healthy individuals; however, in patients with organic heart disease, it can result from increased right ventricular load leading to this condition. Once established, it is usually irreversible and thus does not self-correct. Nevertheless, right bundle branch block itself has no significant hemodynamic impact and typically does not require excessive concern.
Right bundle branch block usually refers to right bundle branch conduction block, which generally cannot recover spontaneously.
Right bundle branch block can be seen in normal individuals, but in patients with organic heart disease—such as rheumatic heart disease or coronary atherosclerotic heart disease—it may develop due to excessive right heart load. Once established, right bundle branch block is irreversible and thus typically does not resolve on its own. However, right bundle branch block itself has no significant effect on hemodynamics and does not cause cardiac dysfunction, so it is usually not a cause for concern.
If heart disease is actively treated in daily life, and good work and living habits are maintained—such as regular作息 (daily routines), proper nutritional intake, and a positive mood—it can generally help prevent the development of heart disease.
