Having an accelerated junctional rhythm occurs when the atrioventricular node in your heart beats too quickly. It happens as a result of damage to your heart’s primary natural pacemaker. There’s no ...

Mobitz type I, also known as the Wenckebach block, is a subtype of second-degree atrioventricular (AV) block. Mobitz type I is a type of conduction disorder, which happens when the electrical signals ...

One approach to this problem has been the use of radiofrequency ablation of the AV node to create complete heart block, followed by implantation of a pacemaker. Symptom relief is good, with attendant ...

Although currently the diseased states involving the AVJ are readily treated with either pacemaker placement for conduction disease and ablation for AVNRT, new opportunities for advances in the field ...

The atrioventricular node (AV Node) is a bundle of conduction cells that regulate the communication of atrial electrical activity with ventricular electrical activity. The AV node has a long ...
