Atrioventricular block, also known as atelocardiography, is a type of heart block. It is characterized by an abnormally slow heart rate caused by interference of the electrical signals between the atria and the ventricles of the heart.

Atrioventricular block can be classified into three types depending on the degree of slowing of the electrical signals. First-degree AV block is the most common blockage and happens when the electrical signals between the atria and the ventricles of the heart become slowed down, but still reach the ventricles in a normal amount of time. Second-degree AV block is a slightly more serious type and occurs when the electrical signals are delayed or blocked more often than not. Third-degree AV block is the most severe kind and involves complete blockage of the electrical signals, resulting in an absent heartbeat.

Atrioventricular block can be caused by a variety of conditions such as certain types of heart disease, the use of certain medications, or damage to the conduction pathways of the heart. It is important to seek medical treatment when symptoms of atrioventricular block appear, as it can be a sign of an underlying cardiac condition that requires medical attention. Treatment for atrioventricular block may involve the use of medications to help regulate the heart rate and rhythm, or the insertion of a pacemaker to take over the job of the heart’s natural pacemaker.
