Significance of anterior Q waves in left anterior fascicular block--a clinical and noninvasive assessment.

Background: Electrocardiographic (ECG) Q waves in V leads (V2 or V3) pose a diagnostic challenge in the presence of left anterior fascicular block (LAFB). Benign Q waves in the absence of coronary artery disease (CAD) primarily due to LAFB have been described. This study evaluates Q waves in the presence of LAFB.
