Heart block

Heart block (English blockade, French bloquer - to block, close the path) is a condition characterized by impaired conduction of electrical impulses generated by the natural pacemaker of the heart (sinus-atrial node), which is the cause of impaired ability of the heart to pump blood. With incomplete heart block or partial, impulses between the atria and ventricles along the bundle of His [first degree heart block] pass with a delay; with a second degree heart block, some impulses from the atria to the ventricles do not pass at all. Heart block of the third degree (third degree) or complete heart block (complete heart block) is characterized by the complete absence of impulses from the atria to the ventricles,which leads to the beginning of the contractions of the latter with their own, characteristic slow speed - 20-40 beats per minute. Heart block can be congenital or developed as a result of various heart diseases, which include myocarditis, myocardial infarction, heart valve disease, cardiomyopathy, and others. In many cases, its appearance is a consequence of degenerative cicatricial chronic changes in the cardiac conduction system in the elderly. Often there is an asymptomatic course of heart block, but with a sharp slowdown in the heart rate and pulse, the patient may develop Adams-Stokes syndrome or heart failure. Elimination of the symptoms of the disease can be carried out by using an artificial pacemaker.their characteristic slow speed - 20-40 beats per minute.
