We report two cases of patients with a complete left bundle branch block (LBBB) with similar cardiac symptoms but different outcomes due to myocardial perfusion and function imaging, using single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).

Keywords: Left bundle branch block; Cardiac SPECT; Pharmacological dipyridamole stress testing
