Long-term Outcomes of Left Anterior Fascicular Block in the Absence of Overt Cardiovascular Disease.

The article discusses a research study conducted on long-term consequences of left anterior fascicular block (LAFB) in the absence of overt cardiovascular disease. It mentions that conductions system fibrosis causes blocks in the conduction pathway of blood and such blocks can occur in the absence of other cardiovascular disease. It further mentions that LAFB can be considered as the biological marker for several disease including left heart fibrosis, atrial fibrillation (AF) and congestive heart failure (CHF). It also mentions that results of the study were not able to prove the connection between the conduction block and other coronary heart diseases.
