Left anterior hemiblock in South African aircrew.
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.
