There are three types of second degree heart block, also called atrioventricular (AV) block. In type I the signal sometimes does not reach the ventricles, causing skipped beats. It is often benign and ...

A first-degree AV node block occurs when conduction through the AV node is slowed, thus delaying the time it takes for the action potential to travel from the SA node, through the AV node, and to the ...

Patients with atrioventricular (AV) block who don’t have an indication for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) do better when treated with conduction-system pacing versus right ventricular septal ...
