Left bundle branch block (LBBB) is a cardiac conduction abnormality seen on the electrocardiogram (ECG). In this condition, activation of the left ventricle is delayed, which causes the left ventricle to contract later than the right ventricle.
A new LBBB is always pathological and can be a sign of myocardial infarction. The criteria (Sgarbossa [1]) that can be used in case of a LBBB and suspicion of infarction are: ST elevation > 1mm in leads with a positive QRS complex (concordance in ST deviation) (score 5)
