Other and unspecified fascicular block - what does this mean
Other and unspecified fascicular block is a type of conduction disorder in which electrical signals are blocked or delayed in the bundle of his, a group of specialized heart muscle fibers responsible for carrying electrical signals from the atria to the ventricles. it is caused by a disruption of the normal electrical pathways in the heart, resulting in an abnormal heart rhythm.
What happens during the disease - other and unspecified fascicular block
Other and unspecified fascicular block is a type of heart block where the electrical signals that travel through the heart are delayed or blocked in the bundle of his, causing the heart rate to be slower than normal. this condition can be caused by a variety of factors, including congenital heart defects, certain medications, or diseases that damage the heart muscle, such as cardiomyopathy. it can also be caused by a previous heart attack or other trauma to the heart. treatment for this condition usually involves medications to regulate the heart rate or a pacemaker to stimulate the heart.
Other and unspecified fascicular block - Prevention
Other and unspecified fascicular block can be prevented by avoiding risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and coronary artery disease. additionally, lifestyle modifications such as maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can help reduce the risk of developing this condition.
