Category: Cardiovascular / Conduction Disorders
Heart block is a disorder of the heart's electrical conduction system, where electrical signals that tell the heart to beat are partially or completely blocked, leading to a slow or irregular heart rate.
First-degree AV block is common (up to 10% of healthy adults), while higher degrees (second and third-degree) are less common, with third-degree AV block incidence around 1-2 per 10,000 people per year (Source: Journal of the American Heart Association, 2016).
