Possibly: Left anterior fascicular block is blockage of one of the electrical branches that delivers electrical signals to part of the left ventricle. There aren't a lot of great studies but some small studies that suggest it is associated with increased risk of atrial fibrillation(which can be a form of tachycardia), hypertension, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death. There is no treatment.

LAFB: if you mean left anterior fascicular block - then no. It does not cause tachycardia. But can be a sign of myocardial ischemia and may precede ventricular tachycardia in the setting of a myocaridal infarction.

What are the best latching techniques?

Dr. Laura Webbanswered
Pediatrics 13 years experience
Is it comfortable?: Ask yourself this- if you are not comfortable the latch is not correct. However briefly a good latch typically involves mom sitting upright with feet flat on the floor, no clothing in the way and baby at the same level of the breast. Introduce the areola (not nipple!) to the baby. The nipple should be tilted to the level of baby's nose. Baby's mouth should be open wide during sucking.

Is craniosacral therapy best for someone with tmj?
5 doctor answers • 8 doctors weighed in
Dr. Howard Banneranswered
Dentistry 48 years experience
Helpful adjunct: Craniosacral therapy can be a very helpful adjunct to TMJ therapy. The problem is that if there is a vertical or anterior/posterior problem with the jaws when biting, the adjustments will not be effective for long periods of time. These jaw to jaw discrepancies must be dealt with too.
