Atrioventricular and left bundle-branch block - what does this mean

Atrioventricular and left bundle-branch block is a type of heart block that occurs when the electrical signals that control the heart's rhythm are disrupted. it is caused by an interruption in the electrical conduction system of the heart, which is responsible for transmitting electrical signals from the atria to the ventricles. this can be due to a variety of causes, including scarring of the heart tissue, inflammation, or damage to the conduction system.
