Nothing to worry about.
Many people have left anterior fasicular block (LAFB) and are doing fine.
It becomes an issue if you have chest pains, shortness of breath or lightheartedness - even then, simple work up by your Cardiologist can provide you with enough reassurances.
It's simply means that one of the electrical pathways in your heart is a little sluggish.
But the heart has other electrical pathways to help it beat.
