The posterior fascicle is much large and less susceptible to injury. As such it is not likely to occur in isolation, and more commonly seen with some AV node dysfunction as a Bifascicular block (LPFB + RBBB). Dr, Burns walks us through some of expected ECG findings and also reminds that you should not dx LPFB without first considering more worrisome causes of right axis deviation: PE, TCA overdose, lateral MI, or RVH.
