Left axis deviation symptoms depend on the underlying cause. [5] For example, if left ventricular hypertrophy is the cause of LAD, symptoms can include shortness of breath , fatigue, chest pain (especially with exercise), palpitations , dizziness , or fainting . [ 6 ]
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. It is manifested on the ECG by left axis deviation.
The axis may be normal but may be deviated to the left or right. [4] There are also partial blocks of the left bundle branch: "left anterior fascicular block" (LAFB) [5] and a "left posterior fascicular block" (LPFB). [5] This refers to the block after the bifurcation of the left bundle branch.
If the electrical axis is between -30° and -90° this is considered left axis deviation. If the electrical axis is between +90° and +180° this is considered right axis deviation (RAD). RAD is an ECG finding that arises either as an anatomically normal variant or an indicator of underlying pathology.
A right bundle branch block typically causes prolongation of the last part of the QRS complex and may shift the heart's electrical axis slightly to the right. The ECG will show a terminal R wave in lead V1 and a slurred S wave in lead I. Left bundle branch block widens the entire QRS, and in most cases shifts the heart's electrical axis to the ...
On ECG a left axis deviation is generally found in ostium primum ASD, but an RSR pattern (M pattern) in V1 is characteristic. Fixed splitting of the second heart sound (S2) occurs because of equal filling of the left and right atria during all phases of the respiratory cycle.

Featuring Lisa Kudrow and Ray Romano, Netflix's new dark comedy "No Good Deed" is "about the highs and lows of searching for a safe, happy home."
de Winter syndrome is an electrocardiogram (ECG) pattern which often represents sudden near blockage of the left anterior descending artery (LAD). [1] [5] Symptoms include chest pain, shortness of breath, and sweating. [1] While typically due to blockage of the LAD, other arteries of the heart may be involved. [1]
