The heart's pacemaker is the SA (sinoatrial) node, whereas the AV (atrioventricular) node is in charge of carrying out electrical impulse conduction...Become a member and unlock all Study Answers Start today. Try it now Create an account Ask a question Our experts can answer you...
What is the normal heart rate set by the SA node, AV node, and Bundle of his of the heart? What is the only electrical connection between the atria and ventricles? What are isovolumetric contraction and relaxation in the heart? What is a deadly arrhythmia (unless help is provided immediate...
Bradycardia is one of the most common diseases in the group of cardiovascular diseases. more... How to treat sinus node failure? Doctor tell me is there any effective treatment for this disease? I'm young, so I don't want a pacemaker. I have never fainted, my current health is about ...
The conduction system, also called the cardiac electrical system, helps the heart contract, thus pumping blood through the body. It is made up of several different parts, including a sinoatrial (sinus) node. The sinus node is a small collection of tissue. It can be found in the heart's u...
Contraindications And Precautions Because beta-blockers depress conduction through the AV node, metoprolol is contraindicated in patients with severe bradycardia, sick sinus syndrome, or advanced AV block (second or third-degree AV block) unless a functioning pacemaker is present. In general, metoprolol...
The heart has a regulatory system, known as the intrinsic conduction system, that determines the pace of the heartbeat. Learn about the intrinsic conduction system, including the SA node, AV node, the bundle of His, bundle branches, and Purkinje fibers, and discover its role in heart contract...

Since it induces conduction block in the AV node, adenosine has diagnostic utility in patients with narrow QRS complex tachycardia. Similarly, adenosine could be of the most value in hemodynamically stable wide QRS tachycardia (WQRST) with 1:1 VA conduction when there is difficulty in ...
What is cardiac output? Provide a definition, not an equation. What are cardiac muscles and give their specific functions? Explain the cardiac conduction cycle. Be sure to discuss the functions of the main components of the cardiac conduction system: The SA node, AV node, bundle of...
What is the pathway that the blood flows in the heart? How would the heart rate be affected if there were a blockage of the AV node? A) The heart rate would slow dramatically, and become extremely irregular, contracting only when the ventricles became overfilled. ...
