HUMAN PHENOTYPE - ANNOTATIONS

The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) is downloaded weekly from http://compbio.charite.de/hudson/job/hpo/lastStableBuild/artifact/ontology/release/hp.obo. The file downloaded is considered the "last stable build" available for the ontology. For more about the HPO, view their website at http://www.human-phenotype-ontology.org/.

Definition:Block of conduction of electrical impulses along the Bundle of His or along one of its bundle branches.
Comment:The Bundle of His conducts the electrical impulse from the atrioventricular node into the ventricles. THe Bundle of His divides into right and left bundle branches. A universal feature of a bundle branch block is a prolongation of the time required for depolarization of a portion of the ventricles, reflected in an abnormality of the QRS complex.
Synonyms:xref: SNOMEDCT_US:6374002;   UMLS:C0006384
