I also have a LBBB. It was diagnosed as virus caused because a heart Catherization did not reveal and cardiovascular disease.
Any virus can get into your heart so not just caused COVID. I had a bad virus 20 years ago and my first stress test revealed the LBBB. With the recent virus infection and no cardiovascular disease my LBBB was attriubuted to a virus getting into heart and causing scars.
You say you have heart failure. What is your EF. My EP says the heart develops different electrical patterns to compensate for the LBBB.
Your EP said same thing to me about doing ablations. My PVCs in LV were coming from 3 different areas so wanted to try medication. I was put on Mexiltine (spell) which cut my PVCs in half and did not have any episodes after going on it of tachacardia.

EF is between 30-35 per most of the tests. Diagnosed 11-21-23. One heart MRI revealed 39 EF on 3-19-24. I have had two episodes of arrthymia where by my heart wasn't really beating consistently. On 8-17-24 and 2-8-25. A trip to ER fixed the first one after a few hours. I don't remember the treatment. The second episode in 2-25 wasn't as bad and I just laid around a few days until it corrected itself. ,I recovered each time it takes me months to get my energy back and I am gradually getting weaker. I have learned not to get too excited because that only makes matters worse.
