Please tell me, could a left anterior hemiblock cause palpitations?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Left anterior hemiblock is an ekg finding that indicates an electrical abnormality of the anterior portion of the left bundle branch. The left bundle branch is specialized nerve tissue that allows the cardiac electrical impulse to travel through the left ventricle causing muscular contraction of the heart. Left anterior hemiblock is common but does not cause palpitations. Another cause is likely.
