In some cases, AV block can be physiologic, meaning it is a normal response to an abnormally fast atrial rate.

However, AV block can also be pathologic, meaning it occurs at normal atrial rates due to underlying issues with the conduction system.

Atrioventricular (AV) block refers to an issue with the electrical conduction between the atria and the ventricles.

This interruption or delay occurs due to abnormalities in the conduction system, specifically within the AV node or the His-Purkinje system.

These abnormalities can cause the electrical signals to be delayed or blocked from reaching the ventricles.
