Overview. Bundle branch block is a condition in which there's a delay or blockage along the pathway that electrical impulses travel to make the heart beat. It sometimes makes it harder for the heart to pump blood to the rest of the body.
If you have a left bundle branch block, you will need a thorough medical exam. Tests that can be used to diagnose a bundle branch block or its causes include: Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG).
A left anterior fascicular block is the term for something interfering with your heartbeat’s signal when it gets to the left anterior fascicle of your heart’s left bundle branch. This makes your heart’s left ventricle contract later than your heart’s right ventricle.
I recently had an echocardiogram, then a stress test. My endocrinologist recommended these tests due to my high triglycerides! I had no symptoms. Then a cardiologist performed a Catharization and then a stent for a small blockage.
Mayo Clinic electrophysiologists Siva K. Mulpuru, M.D., and Suraj Kapa, M.D., discuss left bundle branch block — an abnormal conduction in the heart frequently seen on electrocardiogram — with Yogesh N. Reddy, M.B.B.S. Treatment for the condition may include implantation of pacing and defibrillator devices. Video content outline.
Left anterior fascicular block (LAFB) is considered a failure or delay of conduction in the left anterior fascicle. 1 Despite the fact that little is known about the long-term prognosis associated with LAFB, it has generally been thought of as a benign electrocardiographic (ECG) finding. 2 This view was recently challenged in an article by ...
Left anterior fascicular block (LAFB) is an abnormal condition of the left ventricle of the heart, [1] [2] related to, but distinguished from, left bundle branch block (LBBB). It is caused by only the left anterior fascicle – one half of the left bundle branch being defective.
