title: Left anterior hemiblock in South African aircrew.
abstract: Serial ECGs and clinical records were examined to determine the prevalence, associated ECG abnormalities and outcome of left anterior hemiblock (LAH) in 13,037 airmen. The prevalence of LAH was 0.72% and it was not related to underlying cardiac disease. LAH should be regarded as a benign finding in healthy individuals.
