Detailed Answer:
Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Isolated left Anterior Hemi block, like this, is most likely to be a normal variation, seen in some people…
Occasionally, it is a sign of weakness of this nerve tract (Anterior division of the Left Bundle) / or a reflection of left ventricular hypertrophy.
Nothing to do – in an asymptomatic person, with normal examination and echocardiogram... [Get examined / have an ECHO]
Ignore it and be your usual self
Follow with your doctor, once an year or so...

Good luck
God bless you
