Left posterior fascicular block (LPFB) is a rare intraventricular conduction disorder of rare occurrence, especially as an isolated entity. Its transient form is even rarer and maybe rate‐independent or rate‐dependent intermittent LPFB (phase 3 block, tachycardia‐dependent and phase 4 block or bradycardia‐dependent). We present a case of a young adult male whose baseline ECG/VCG showed the typical LPFB pattern. A treadmill stress test revealed rate‐independent intermittent LPFB with random occurrence. Imaging exams ruled out structural heart disease. To our knowledge, this is the first case in the literature of a rate‐independent intermittent LPFB with no underlying structural heart disease.
