What are the cause and risk factors of having a left anterior fascicular block?

Answer by  Christian9247 (5042)

This is caused by a defect in the anterior half of the bundle. This could be caused by your lifestyle or eating habits. It is associated with hypertensions of the heart.

The left anterior fascicular block is caused by defect in the anterior half of the bundle of His. The risk factors are - it is associated with hypertensive heart disease, cardiomyopathies and degenerative fibrotic disease of the cardiac skeleton. It can be seen in some cases of acute myocaridal infarction.

This sounds like some sort of artery or nerve blockage. My best guess is this would result in a heart attack if it is an artery that is blocked toward the front of the heart or maybe a stroke. This blockage would be from an accumulation of factors, including poor diet, smoking, lack of exercise, etc.

That is going to effect absolutly everything. It could cause brain damage, spinal damage, muscle damage, it is going to effect pretty much the entire body. Being so close to the spine, even if it was not on the spine is a serious problem, which needs to be looked at right away. Make a dr. appt.

An occurrence of left anterior fascicular block (LAFB) occurs due to a problem in the impulse transmission in the nodes of the heart, or to make it more simple, a defective anterior left bundle of his. This disrupts ECG readings and could cause acute myocardial infarction.

Answer by  Moma123 (1043)

Left anterior fascicular block is a cardic condition caused by only the anterior half of the bundle of His being defective. Due to the defective bundle of His, the cardiac cycle becomes uncoordinated and chaotic. LAFB is seen in cases of acute mycardial infarction and hypertensive heart disease, aortic valvular disease, cardiomyopathies and degenerative fibrotic disease of the cardiac skeleton.
