• Sinoatrial Block
• Atrioventricular Block
Sinoatrial Block
• The impulse from the sinus node is
blocked before it enters the atrial muscle.
• The ventricles pick up a new rhythm the
impulse usually originating spontaneously in
the A-V node, so that the rate of the
ventricular QRS-T complex is slowed but not
otherwise altered
Atrioventricular Block
• The only means by which impulses ordinarily
can pass from the atria into the ventricles is
through the A-V bundle, also known as the
bundle of His.
Causes
• Ischemia of the A-V node or A-V bundle fibers
• Compression of the A-V bundle by scar tissue or
by calcified portions of the heart can depress or
block conduction from the atria to the ventricles.
• Inflammation of the A-V node or A-V bundle
• Extreme stimulation of the heart by the vagus
nerves
