title: Left fascicular hemiblocks in the elderly.
abstract: A three-year follow-up study was made of 45 elderly subjects with left anterior hemiblock, either alone or associated with right bundle-branch block. In the LAH + RBBB group, there was a higher mortality rate and frequent evolution toward complete A-V block. The prognostic significance of left fascicular hemiblocks is discussed.
