Left bundle branch block (LBBB) is a conduction abnormality in the heart that can be seen on an electrocardiogram (ECG). [1] In this condition, activation of the left ventricle of the heart is delayed, which causes the left ventricle to contract later than the right ventricle .
Image showing the ECG characteristics of a right bundle branch block and a left bundle branch block. In both cases, the late portion of the widened QRS complex arises from an anomalously conducted depolarization impulse.
And so the left ventricle contracts first . The signal then spreads from the purkinje fibers of the left ventricle over to the right ventricle, which contracts, but this happens after the left contracts. So with right bundle branch block, the right ventricle contracts late. If the block happened to be on the left side instead, a left bundle ...
Infra-Hisian blocks may occur at the left or right bundle branches ("bundle branch block") or the fascicles of the left bundle branch ("fascicular block" or "Hemiblock"). SA and AV node blocks are each divided into three degrees, with second-degree blocks being divided into two types (written either "type I or II" or "type 1 or 2").

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.
