Approach to bradycardia
... The AV node conducts the electrical impulse from the atria to the ventricles via the bundle of His. There are three forms of AV block: 1st degree block, 2nd degree block, or 3rd degree block. In 1st degree, there is a prolonged P-R interval; however all atrial impulses are conducted to the ventricl ...
