Left posterior fascicular block - what does this mean
Left posterior fascicular block is a type of heart block that occurs when the electrical signal that controls the heart’s rhythm is blocked in the left posterior fascicle, causing the heart to beat at a slower rate. it is caused by a disruption in the electrical conduction system of the heart, which can be due to a variety of conditions, including scarring of the heart muscle, inflammation of the heart muscle, or a congenital defect.
What happens during the disease - left posterior fascicular block
Left posterior fascicular block is a type of heart block caused by a conduction delay in the left posterior fascicle of the heart's electrical system. it is caused by an interruption in the conduction of electrical signals, resulting in slowed or blocked electrical impulses in the left posterior fascicle. this can lead to impaired contraction of the left ventricle, which can cause symptoms such as lightheadedness, palpitations, chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue.
