Hello, I want a cosmetic surgery for breast augmentation. I have LEFT BUNDLE BRANCH BLOCK. I'm a very healthy person and I make my body work a lot. I workout 3 days a week and do things around the house. And I don't feel anything about it. Does this have to do anything with the surgery? Thank you!

Answer: Bundle branch block and surgery You do not mention your age or if you have had any heart problems. Assuming you are otherwise healthy, as you indicate, and the block is not affecting you , you probably can have safely have surgery. The concern is how your heart will function under anesthesia. You should get a clearance for anesthesia from your physician or heart doctor before proceeding.

Answer: Left bundle branch block (LBBB) As you may know, the LBBB is an electrical / conduction problem in the heart. It makes it much more tricky to sort out what is going on with your pre-op EKG. For this reason, clearance by a cardiologist is usually recommended, even in someone who has a good exercise tolerance.
