left anterior fascicular block

left anterior fascicular block

My latest ECG reports shows i have a left anterior fascicular block. But i dont feel pain in my heart or i dont have any other symtoms (symptoms) that a LAFB patient supposed to have. I also went through a stress test the result of which is perfectly ok. Do i really have any problem in my heart? If not why the ECG report always comes abnormal?

In general, finding a LAFB  should bring a search for underlying heart disease. OFTEN NONE IS FOUND, in which case the LAFB can be ignored.

Conditons to be ruled out: LAFB may occur in cardiac disease and may occur in acute myocardial infarction.
LAFB may also be observed following acute inferior wall myocardial infarction
this is suggestive that LAFB is a result of disease of the left anterior descending artery.

Other associations of LAFB include:
hypertensive heart disease
aortic valve disease
cardiomyopathy
An EKG is not very reliable to diagnosis a medical condition.  Requires support from other tests, symptoms, etc.  A stress test can rule out many conditions associated with LAFB.
