2025年2月18日 · Depolarisation spreads from endocardium to epicardium and thus the initial vector is directed downwards and rightwards, towards inferior leads. This produces small R waves in leads II, III and aVF, and small Q waves in leads I and aVL.

LAFB — which is also known as left anterior hemiblock (LAHB) — occurs when a cardiac impulse spreads first through the left posterior fascicle, causing a delay in activation of the anterior and upper parts of the LV.

Isolated LAFB is considered a benign conduction defect. Roughly 7% of cases progress to bifascicular block (which means that the LAFB is accompanied by a right bundle branch block), while 3% progress to third-degree AV block (complete heart block). LAFB may imitate anteroseptal infarction.

A left anterior fascicular block, also known as left anterior hemiblock, occurs when the anterior fascicle of the left bundle branch is no longer able to conduct action potentials. The...

2024年11月18日 · Left anterior fascicular block (LAFB), a pattern (formerly called left anterior hemiblock) seen on the surface electrocardiogram (ECG), results when normal electrical activity in the His-Purkinje system is delayed or interrupted.

2015年9月14日 · LAFB can have many causes, including myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathies, fibrosis of the cartilagenous ring, and aortic valve disease. Left anterior fascicular block is much more common than left posterior fascicular block. Both are also called hemiblocks.

Left anterior fascicular block (LAFB) is a heart disease identifiable from an abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG). It has been reported that LAFB is associated with an increased risk of heart failure.

2014年9月29日 · LAFB can have many causes, including myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathies, fibrosis of the cartilagenous ring, and aortic valve disease. Left anterior fascicular block is much more common than left posterior fascicular block. Both are also called hemiblocks.

Here we see a broad complex tachycardia that looks like an RBBB + LAFB, which is regular. In this constellation, 3 causes must be considered: 1. fascicular tachycardia from the left posterior fascicle of the left tawara fascicle (QRS width usually only around 130 ms, but sometimes significantly longer). 2.

2021年3月12日 · Clinically — When the amount of LAD is severe (ie, clearly more negative than seen in Figure-8) — this may indicate a conduction defect known as LAHB (Left Anterior HemiBlock). For the moment — Simply recognize that there is LAD.
