Italian term

ritardo di conduzione dx

FVA Not for points Italian to English Medical Medical (general) ECG
Buongiorno tutti,

I am translating a summary of a patient's medical history that was taken during a brief hospitalization for chest pain. The patient has a history of health problems. Upon admission, he underwent an ECG, during which the following was found:

Ritardo conduz dx

I know this is a conduction delay, but what kind of delay is it? Right ventricular conduction delay?

The rest of the ECG indicates the following:
ST-T wave depression in the anterolateral leads
ST elevation in aVR

Previously, he had undergone coronary bypass.

Grazie per l'aiuto, e buon lunedì!

What is right ventricular conduction delay?
May 28, 2012 8:50 pm ⋅ Leave a Comment ⋅ Johnson Francis

The signals from the sinoatrial node reach the ventricles through the atrioventricular node via the bundle of His and its branches. The right bundle branch taking signals to the right ventricle can often have a conduction delay and the manifestation on ECG is called right bundle branch block (RBBB). It has a characteristic pattern on the ECG with an rSR’ pattern in the lead V1. Right bundle branch block can exist in the absence of any other significant heart disease and may not do much harm by itself. Right ventricular conduction delay can also be there in conditions in which the right ventricle is enlarged as in case of atrial septal defect (ASD).

Thanks to you both!

agree Lirka (meets criteria) : BUT called 'block' rather than 'delay': so, right bundle branch block
