Block of the left anterior and posterior hemi fascicles gives rise to the hemi blocks. Left anterior hemi block is characterised by a mean frontal plane axis more leftward than −30° (abnormal left axis deviation) in the absence of an inferior myocardial infarction or other cause of left axis deviation.

Left posterior hemiblock is characterised by a mean frontal plane axis of >90° in the absence of other causes of right axis deviation.

Bifascicular block is the combination of right bundle branch block and left anterior or posterior hemiblock. The electrocardiogram shows right bundle branch block with left or right axis deviation.

Right bundle branch block with left anterior hemiblock is the commonest type of bifascicular block. The left posterior fascicle is fairly stout and more resistant to damage, so right bundle branch block with left posterior hemiblock is rarely seen.

Trifascicular block is present when bifascicular block is associated with first degree heart block. If conduction in the dysfunctional fascicle also fails completely, complete heart block ensues.
