Right bundle branch block (RBBB) is among the most common electrocardiographic abnormalities. To establish the prevalence and incidence of RBBB in the general population without cardiovascular events (CVE) and whether RBBB increases cardiovascular morbidity and mortality compared with patients with a normal electrocardiogram (ECG). A historical study of two cohorts including 2981 patients from 29 primary health centres without baseline CVE.

The clinical significance of a right bundle branch block (RBBB) in an asymptomatic adult without evidence of cardiovascular disease is controversial. To establish the relationship between the appearance of the RBBB and the increase of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in healthy patients, we have carried out a literature review of documents available until September 2017 through a systematic search on the Pubmed database, Cochrane library and a manual search of the mentioned literature and related articles. From the 29 articles included in the study sample, eight showed mortality and 16 morbidity outcomes.
