| bundle branch block |
Normally, the electrical impulse travels down both the right and left bundle branches at the same speed and the ventricles contract at the same time. If there is a block in one of the branches, it is called a bundle branch block. A bundle branch block causes one ventricle to contract just after the other ventricle.

| bundle branch |
The electrical impulses travel down a normal pathway through the heart. From the SA node, the impulse travels to the AV node. Then it goes to the bundle of His. The bundle divides into a right bundle and the left bundle. The bundles take the impulse through the ventricles (bottom chambers) to cause them to contract.

Named after Wilhelm His, an AV bundle or atrioventricular bundle of small mass fibers. The only known direct connection between the ventricles and the atria that conducts impulses to the ventricular heart muscle.
