Wilson Type of Right Bundle Branch Block (F. N. Wilson, 1890-1952, American Cardiologist)

Wilson's phenomenon—a type of right bundle branch block—refers to a disturbance in the conduction of cardiac impulses in the lower part of the heart, which is caused by abnormal connection of myocardial fibers. This is a common electrical abnormality of the heart that can be either congenital or acquired. The disease occurs when the electrical activity of the heart is blocked and causes severe symptoms including chest pain, irregular heartbeats and loss of consciousness.

The bundle of His is the central structure in the heart responsible for transmitting the heart rhythm signal. It consists of bundles of muscles that connect in the legs, one of which, the right leg of the Hiss bundle, is responsible for conducting impulses to the ventricles. In this type of blockade, premature deviation of the impulse course occurs in the left branch of the Hiss bundle

Wilson type right bundle branch block is a form of bundle branch block, also known as the atypical type. It was discovered by American cardiologist Francis Wilson in 1930. This type of blockade consists in disrupting the passage of the impulse along the right branch of the Hiss bundle, which leads to disruption of the electrocardiographic picture of the heart and the appearance of characteristic heart rhythm disturbances.

This type of blockade is rare, but can lead to serious consequences for human health. If the blockage is not treated promptly, it can cause serious heart problems such as heart failure or atrial fibrillation.

Wilson - right bundle branch block

Right branch block is an obstruction of the right coronary arteries, characterized by blockade of impulse transmission along the right branch of the His bundle. The pathophysiology of RBBB block may be congenital or acquired.

RBBB block was first described in 1940 by William Wilson, a cardiologist in Los Angeles. This was not obvious from the ECG, and only experimental recordings on the patient's open heart allowed V. Wilson and his
