WHAT DOES ATRIOVENTRICULAR BLOCK MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Atrioventricular block

An atrioventricular block involves the impairment of the conduction between the atria and ventricles of the heart. Under normal conditions, SA node in the atria sets the pace for the heart, and these impulses travel down to the ventricles. In an AV block, this message does not reach the ventricles or is impaired along the way. The ventricles of the heart have their own pacing mechanisms, which can maintain a lowered heart rate in the absence of SA stimulation. The causes of pathological AV block are varied and include ischaemia, infarction, fibrosis or drugs, and the blocks may be complete or may only impair the signaling between the SA and AV nodes. Certain AV blocks can also be found as normal variants, such as in athletes or children, and are benign. Strong vagal stimulation may also produce AV block. The cholinergic receptor types affected are the muscarinic receptors. There are three types: ▪ First degree AV block - PR interval greater than 0.20sec. ▪ Second degree AV block - Type 1: Progressive prolongation of PR interval with dropped beats . Type 2: PR interval remains unchanged prior to the P wave which suddenly fails to conduct to the ventricles.
