Bundle branch block is a condition in which the electrical impulses traveling through the heart are slowed or blocked completely from traveling along their normal route through the ventricles.

heart failure (or congestive heart failure) / left bundle branch [block]


Explanation:
While most answers above are correct, in the medical literature the most frequent expressions for "insuficiencia cardiaca / bloqueo de rama izquierda" are "congestive heart failure" and "left bundle branch block", respectivamente.

Electro-cardiographic diagnosis of evolving acute myocardial infarction in the presence of **left bundle-branch block**. GUSTO-1 (Global Utilization of Streptokinase and Tissue Plasminogen Activator for Occluded Coronary Arteries) Investigators. N Engl J Med 1996 Feb 22;334(8):481-7


BACKGROUND. The presence of left bundle-branch block on the electrocardiogram may conceal the changes of acute myocardial infarction, which can delay both its recognition and treatment. We tested electrocardiographic criteria for the diagnosis of acute infarction in the presence of **left bundle-branch block**. METHODS...... CONCLUSIONS. We developed and validated a clinical prediction rule based on a set of electrocardiographic criteria for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction in patients with chest pain and **left bundle-branch block**. The use of these criteria, which are based on simple ST-segment changes, may help identify patients with acute myocardial infarction, who can then receive appropriate treatment.



Sgarbossa EB, Pinski SL, Trohman RG, Castle LW, Maloney JD. Single-chamber ventricular pacing is not associated with worsening heart failure in sick sinus syndrome. Am J Cardiol 1994 Apr 1;73(9):693-7

Ventricular pacing (with loss of normal atrioventricular synchrony) has been considered to have a role in the development or progression of **congestive heart failure** (CHF) in patients with sick sinus syndrome (SSS). No rigorous study has tested this hypothesis. Five hundred seven consecutive patients with SSS who received an initial pacemaker from January 1980 to December 1989 were studied. Atrial or dual-chamber pacemakers were implanted in 395 patients and ventricular pacemakers in 112. After a mean follow-up of 65 +/- 37 months, 97 patients (19%) developed new CHF or increased their New York Heart Association functional class. By univariate analysis, preimplant predictors for these events were left ventricular dysfunction (p < 0.001), valvular heart disease (p = 0.004), peripheral vascular disease (p = 0.005), diabetes (p = 0.02), coronary artery disease (p = 0.02), high New York Heart Association functional class (p = 0.03) and complex ventricular arrhythmia (p = 0.03). By multivariate analysis (logistic regression).....
