Introduction

The exercise stress test (EST) has been indicated in various clinical situations. Despite the robust evidence about the clinical significance of ST-T abnormalities during exercise, little attention has been paid to the development of exercise-induced intraventricular conduction disorders.

Conduction disorders and fascicular blocks induced during EST are rare. The prevalence of stress-induced left bundle-branch blocks (LBBB) ranges from 0.3%-0.5%, and frequently, the prognosis is more adverse (greater CAD and heart failure prevalence).
