Supernormal Conduction in RBBB

Report:

Sinus rhythm 72/min

SVEBs, one couplet

Right bundle branch block

Supernormal conduction

Comment:

The SVEBs are all preceded by P’, resetting the sinus pacemaker. What is unusual and unexpected is their normal intraventricular conduction despite prematurity, pre-existing RBBB in sinus beats and the long-short sequencing. This better-than-expected conduction is known as supernormal. It does not mean better or faster than normal.
