Now, compare the vector loop of the patient with the inferior infarction and left anterior fascicular block (LAFB) (upper panel), to that of the patient with the inferior infarction b0ut without LAFB that was shown earlier (page 6.2.6-lower panel). In both, the inferior wall infarction is responsible for the superior orientation of the early portion of the vector loop. Thereafter, the loop of the patient without the LAFB (below) rotates in a clockwise direction with an axis of +30 degrees, while the loop in the patient with the LAFB (above) rotates in a counterclockwise direction with an axis of -60 degrees.
