Atrioventricular block, first degree - what does this mean
Atrioventricular block, first degree is a type of heart block where the electrical signal that travels from the atria to the ventricles is delayed. this results in a prolonged pr interval on an electrocardiogram and can cause a decrease in heart rate. it is usually benign and does not require any treatment.
What happens during the disease - atrioventricular block, first degree
Atrioventricular block, first degree is caused by a delay in the conduction of the electrical signal from the atria to the ventricles. this delay results in a prolonged pr interval on an electrocardiogram, and can be caused by various factors such as fibrosis of the conduction system, or increased vagal tone. in most cases, first degree av block does not require any treatment and is considered a benign condition.
