Overview
Atrioventricular (AV) block is caused by one of the following mechanisms i.e. fibrosis or degeneration of the conduction system, ischemic heart disease, or medications.
Atrioventricular Block Pathophysiology
- First-degree Atrioventricular Block
- A delay in electrical heart conduction without significant interruption occurs from atria to ventricle.
- This occurs at the level of AV node or slightly below it.
- In this situation, no hemodynamic instability happens.
