Axis
- Left Axis Deviation
Examples of LBBB and RBBB [ 14 ] Left anterior fascicular (or hemi) block - see diagram below Left axis deviation (usually between −45° and −90°). Small initial R wave in leads II and aVF. No other cause for left axis deviation is identified. [patient.info]
QRS Wave

Depolarization abnormalities including prolongation of P-wave duration, PR and QRS intervals are frequently observed, particularly in patients linked to SCN5A mutations. PR prolongation likely reflects HV conduction delay. [af-ablation.org]
