Transient Q waves followed by left anterior fascicular block during exercise.

Abstract

A 45 year old white man developed transient abnormal Q waves and ST segment elevation preceding left anterior fascicular block during exercise stress testing. The simultaneous disappearance of Q waves and fascicular block suggested that the abnormal Q waves were determined by an early septal conduction defect.
