Avoidance of AV-nodal-blocking medication, pacemaker. Second-degree atrioventricular block (AV block) is a disease of the electrical conduction system of the heart. It is a conduction block between the atria and ventricles. The presence of second-degree AV block is diagnosed when one or more (but not all) of the atrial impulses fail to conduct ...
Specialty. Cardiology. Atrioventricular block ( AV block) is a type of heart block that occurs when the electrical signal traveling from the atria, or the upper chambers of the heart, to ventricles, or the lower chambers of the heart, is impaired. Normally, the sinoatrial node (SA node) produces an electrical signal to control the heart rate.
Use of real time monitoring of the heart in an intensive care unit in a German hospital (2015), the monitoring screen above the patient displaying an electrocardiogram and various values of parameters of the heart like heart rate and blood pressure. Electrocardiography is the process of producing an electrocardiogram ( ECG or EKG[ a] ), a ...
Heart block. Heart block ( HB) [ 1] is a disorder in the heart 's rhythm due to a fault in the natural pacemaker. [ 2] This is caused by an obstruction – a block – in the electrical conduction system of the heart. Sometimes a disorder can be inherited. Despite the severe-sounding name, heart block may cause no symptoms at all in some cases ...
Cardiology, Emergency Medicine. Left bundle branch block ( LBBB) is a conduction abnormality in the heart that can be seen on an electrocardiogram (ECG). [ 1] In this condition, activation of the left ventricle of the heart is delayed, which causes the left ventricle to contract later than the right ventricle .

The company has introduced a simply-titled ECG App that, like equivalents on other devices, can study your heart rhythm and look for atrial fibrillation (aka AFib). If there are signs of trouble ...
Sinus rhythm. A sinus rhythm is any cardiac rhythm in which depolarisation of the cardiac muscle begins at the sinus node. [ 1] It is necessary, but not sufficient, for normal electrical activity within the heart. [ 2] On the electrocardiogram (ECG), a sinus rhythm is characterised by the presence of P waves that are normal in morphology. [ 2]
