The heartâs rhythm (heartbeat) is regulated by natural electrical impulses that travel through the heart muscle.These impulses tell the heartâs chambers when to contract.trioventricular (AV) block is a type of abnormal heart rhythm, or arrhythmia. The heartâs rhythm (heartbeat) is regulated by natural electrical impulses that travel through the heart muscle.
In first-degree AV block, the impulse conducting from atria to ventricles through the atrioventricular node (AV node) is delayed and travels slower than normal. It has a prevalence in the normal (young adult) population of 0.65-1.1% and the incidence is 0.13 per 1000 persons.
