Atrioventricular dissociation
MONDO:0008848Impaired conduction of cardiac impulse that can occur anywhere along the conduction pathway, such as between the sinoatrial node and the right atrium (sa block) or between atria and ventricles (av block). Heart blocks can be classified by the duration, frequency, or completeness of conduction block. Reversibility depends on the degree of structural or functional defects.
Also known as: atrioventricular dissociation, atrioventricular dissociation (disease), A-V dissociation
