AB  - The occurrence of left bundle branch block (LBBB) in electrocardiogram during 
      exercise testing is a relatively rare finding. The incidence of LBBB during 
      exercise testing ranges from 0.5% to 1.1%. The mechanism of exercise-induced LBBB 
      (EI-LBBB) is poorly understood, but ischemia is a proposed etiology. Stress 
      myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) can be useful in patients with EI-LBBB to rule 
      out coronary artery disease. Adenosine vasodilator stress is the preferred mode 
      of stress in patients with LBBB for performing stress-MPI. Here we present an 
      interesting case of adenosine-induced LBBB during stress-MPI in a 67-year-old 
      female patient with normal coronary angiography.
