Left anterior fascicular block (LAFB) is a conduction abnormality in the heart's electrical system that can be detected on an electrocardiogram (ECG). It indicates a delay or block in the conduction of electrical impulses in a specific part of the heart's left bundle branch. LAFB is usually considered a benign finding, but it may be associated with underlying heart conditions and should be evaluated by a healthcare provider.
the heart is medial/proximal to the rib cage
Proximal LAD stands for "proximal left anterior descending artery," which is a part of the left main coronary artery. It is a critical blood vessel that supplies oxygenated blood to a large portion of the heart muscle. Blockages or narrowing in the proximal LAD can lead to serious heart conditions like myocardial infarction (heart attack).
3...left, right (posterior), anterior
The liver is divided into anterior and posterior parts. The larger right lobe constitutes the anterior part, while the smaller left lobe forms the posterior part. This division aids in understanding the complex anatomy and function of the liver.
There are no treatments for left anterior fascicular block. There are no symptoms associated with this finding on EKG the vast majority of the time.

Block of anterior branch ol left bundle
Prior MI now with LAHB means prior myocardial infarction (heart attack) with left anterior hemiblock. Another name for left anterior hemoblock is left anterior fascicular block (LAFB). LAHB is a problem in the electrical conduction in the heart.
Bifascicular block is where there are two or more blockages within the conduction system of the heart. For example right bundle branch block with left anterior fasicular block will be considered bifasicular block
Left anterior or anterior left
Atrioventricular Dissociation (or commonly known as Complete Heart Block).
Anterior Wall Ischemia: [blockage in the Left Anterior Descending Artery]
Yes, the anterior branch of the left coronary artery, also known as the left anterior descending artery (LAD), courses within the anterior interventricular sulcus. This artery supplies blood to the anterior walls of the left ventricle and interventricular septum. It is a critical vessel for the heart's blood supply.
yes
inverted
It connects left and right anterior cerebral arteries
