Conduction disturbances can occur at the level of the sinoatrial (SA) node, the atrioventricular (AV) node and the bundle branch system.  
Conduction disturbances can occur at the level of the sinoatrial (SA) node, the atrioventricular (AV) node and the bundle branch system.  
In atrioventricular block the conduction between atria and ventricles is disturbed leading to an incread [[Conduction#PQ interval|PQ interval]] or to drop out of QRS complexes: atrial activity that is not followed by ventricular activity. Three degrees of block can be distinguished.
