Bifascicular block is a conduction abnormality in the heart where two of the three main fascicles of the His/Purkinje system are blocked. Most commonly, it refers to a combination of right bundle branch block (RBBB) and either left anterior fascicular block (LAFB) or left posterior fascicular block (LPFB), with the former being more common.Some authors consider left bundle branch block (LBBB) to be a technical bifascicular block, since the block occurs above the bifurcation of the left anterior and left posterior fascicles of the left bundle branch. Diagnosis
Diagnostic criteria:Clinically, bifascicular block presents with one of two ECG patterns:
Right bundle branch block (RBBB) with left anterior fascicular block (LAFB), manifested as left axis deviation (LAD). RBBB and left posterior fascicular block (LPFB), manifested as right axis deviation (RAD) in the absence of other causes. Treatment
In those with bifascicular block and no symptoms, little with respect to treatment is needed. In those with syncope, a pacemaker is recommended. References

Avindra Nath, clinical director of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and president of the International Society for NeuroVirology, compared the situation to the prolonged investigations that led to confirmation of HIV as the cause of AIDS. In response to the suggestion that the enterovirus might be taking over the role of polio, Nath said that EV-D68 was far less virulent and spread much more slowly than polio, and that unlike in polio, only a few cases of paralysis were seen per thousand children infected. He also suggested that adults with respiratory diseases should also be evaluated for neurological deficits, and that infectious disease should be considered as a cause when patients presented with neurological symptoms.A subsequent report described 29 cases of EV-D68-associated AFM in Europe in 2016, noting, "these probably represent only the tip of the iceberg. "CDC sees 2018 as a record year, annual documented cases of AFM reached a record 238  nationwide. The relatively lower circulation in 2020 may reflect the use of COVID-19 pandemic infection mitigation measures. Because of the EV-D68 surge in 2022 Health Alert Network (HAN) released a notice for Healthcare providers and hospitals. The CDC warned clinicians that EV-D68 detections have continued to be high. "Sentinel surveillance sites are reporting a higher proportion of EV-D68 positivity in children who are [rhinovirus and/or enterovirus] positive compared to previous years," the agency wrote. Clinicians should be aware of "the potential for an increase in AFM cases in the upcoming weeks."
