CONDUCTION DISTURBANCES; PACEMAKERS Atrioventricular Blocks o AV blocks are delays or failure of one, some, or all sinus impulses to travel through the AV pathway to the ventricles. Remember a heart with a normal conduction, the only pathway is through the AV node When you have a block, it is because it is either taking too long to get through AV node and to ventricles or it is not getting through, or some but not all are getting through The primary consideration in managing any of the AV blocks is the ventricular rate (how many beats are getting through and causing CO)
