Bifascicular block - what does this mean
Bifascicular block is a condition where the electrical conduction of the heart is impaired due to a blockage in two of the three major pathways (known as fascicles) of the heart. it is caused by a combination of scarring or coronary artery disease, resulting in the blockage of two of the fascicles, which can lead to a decrease in heart rate and an increased risk of arrhythmia.
What happens during the disease - bifascicular block
Bifascicular block is a type of heart block caused by a disruption in the conduction of electrical signals from the atria to the ventricles. it is typically caused by damage to the bundle of his, which is responsible for carrying electrical signals from the atria to the ventricles. this damage can occur due to ischemia, inflammation, or fibrosis, and can lead to an abnormal conduction of electrical signals through the heart, resulting in a bifascicular block.
Bifascicular block - Prevention
Bifascicular block can be prevented by maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, eating a balanced diet, avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, and managing stress levels. additionally, it is important to have regular check-ups with your doctor and to take any prescribed medications as directed.
