English term or phrase: bundle branch block

Definition from Medical University of South Carolina:
An ECG change characterized by an intraventricular conduction delay affecting the left ventricular wall and septum. Acute occurrences most commonly result from myocardial ischemia.

Example sentence(s):

Although bundle branch block itself often requires no direct treatment, you'll need treatment of any underlying health condition that could cause bundle branch block, such as coronary heart disease. mayoclinic.com
Usually a person with bundle branch block shows no symptoms, but this block shows up on the electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) as an abnormality. If you have bundle branch block, it may have only been noticed when you had an ECG. American Heart Association, Inc.
As your doctor points out, bundle branch block is a common condition and in about half of cases there's no obvious cause. Some of the known causes are coronary artery disease, inflammation of the heart muscle and an overdose of digitalis type drugs. bbc.co.uk

blok (pravého alebo ľavého) Tawarovho ramienka

Definition from doc. MUDr. Gabriel Kamenský, CSc.:
Blokáda ľavého Tawarovho ramienka je porucha prevodu vzruchov srdcom, nemusí znamenať nič, môže sa vyskytnúť aj u zdravého človeka, aj keď relatívne v malom percente. Pokiaľ ho nájdeme, je vhodné doplniť echokardiografické vyšetrenie.

Example sentence(s):

Záver konziliárneho interného vyšetrenia: ICHS s kompletným blokom ľavého Tawarovho ramienka a suspektná stenóza aorty. - Cardiol 2000;9(2):79–86

Pokiaľ viem, tento stav sa može vyskytnúť na oboch stranách, stretla som sa s tým v prekladoch zo slovenčiny, tiež viď citáciu z vedeckeho časopisu Kardiológia:
Elektrokardiografické vyšetrenie
EKG u ľahkých ICHPS je obyčajne normálne. Pri závažnej ICHPS je P vlna vysoká a zahrotená (obraz P-pulmonale), najčastejšie vo zvodoch II. a III., aVF a vo V1. Elektrická os QRS komplexu pri ťažkých ICHPS je od + 100 až + 140 stupňov. Pravidelne sa vyskytuje kompletný alebo inkompletný blok pravého Tawarovho ramienka a známky hypertrofie pravej komory. Môžu sa vyskytovať poruchy srdcového rytmu, fibrilácia alebo flutter predsiení. Zistilo sa, že výška vlny R vo zvode V1, násobená číslom 5 dáva približne hodnotu, ktorá sa rovná systolickému tlaku v PK. Cardiol 2004;13(6):352–358
