Criteria
Diagnostic criteria include[1]:
- Right axis deviation (>110)
- QRS < 120ms
- qR in III and aVF
- rS in I and aVL
LAFB vs LPFB[2]
| LAFB | LPFB | |
| Axis | Left axis deviation | Right axis deviation |
| I and aVL | Upright QRS | Downgoing QRS |
| III | Downgoing QRS | Upright QRS |
Significance
- Usually associated with disease
- Isolated LPFB associated with MI[3]
- Exclude other causes of RAD (PE, COPD, RVH, Lateral MI)
