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. | 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.
