title: Hereditary right axis deviation: electrocardiographic pattern of pseudo left posterior hemiblock and incomplete right bundle branch block.
abstract: We present a family with a hereditary electrocardiographic pattern of pseudo left posterior hemiblock and incomplete right bundle branch block which resulted in right axis deviation. The mother had a normal electrocardiogram, while the father and their two sons presented the above-described electrocardiographic features. Clinical, radiological and echocardiographic evaluation excluded structural and functional cardiac abnormalities as well as chest deformities and lung disease. The identical vectorcardiographic findings of the father and his sons is discussed.
