Background: LBBB is associated with higher risk of cardiovascular manifestations. It is an important finding that affecting diagnostic and clinical management of many patients and adversely influencing their outcomes. Clinical profile and imaging parameters can give insight into pathophysiology and progression of LBBB. Aims And Objectives: Study clinical profile and echocardiographic parameters in subjects with left bundle branch block. Material and methods: Study design: This was a single centre, cross sectional, descriptive and observational study study done on 99 patients with LBBB in a tertiary care hospital over period of 18 months from October 2019 to March 2021. Enrolled patients underwent 2D echocardiography. Statistical analysis: Appropriate statistical tests were applied using SPSS trial v21 for analysis; p-value. Result: Out of total 99 patients with LBBB majority of patients belonged to age group of 61- 70 years (35.35%). It was observed that mean age group of all patients was 65.51± 10.70. Total 50 (50.51%) were males and 49 (49.49%) patients were females. Dyspnoea (57.58%) and cardiac chest pain (49.49%) were the most frequent presenting complains. The majority of patients presented in the study were Hypertensive (52.52), followed by coronary artery disease (44.44), diabetes (37.37).
