What does it mean if you are found to have a Right Bundle Branch Block on an EKG?

    To begin with this finding can be a normal variant in 1-3 % of the population, otherwise it can be seen with Brugada syndrome, (not a common condition) myocarditis, rheumatic heart disease, pulmonary embolism, ischemic heart

    disease, cardiomyopathy, and structural heart disease (atrial septal defect) 

    and the prevalence for developing it can increase as one ages.  Hope this 

    answers your question.

    I am asking because i am a heart patient with blockage on both my right and left sides.  Just curious why it was not explained to me - just was stated in a passing question.
