This causes a typical rightward axis deviation. In contrast to the LAFB, this is rarely a normal variant. The posterior fascicle receives its blood supply from both the left coronary and right coronary arteries; hence, if an LPFB is present, this may indicate multi vessel coronary artery disease. ++ FIGURE 23.22A Left Posterior Fascicular Block.
