What is a third degree AV heart block?
In: Biology
Third-degree heart block is a condition where the electrical signals in the heart are disrupted, leading to a slow and irregular heartbeat.
The upper chambers of the heart (atria) and the lower chambers (ventricles) are not properly synchronized. As a result, the heart may not be able to pump enough blood to the body, which can lead to symptoms like dizziness, fatigue, and fainting. Treatment for third-degree heart block may include medications, a pacemaker, or other procedures to regulate the heart’s rhythm.
