Intraventricular block

Intraventricular block (IVB) is a cardiac disorder that occurs as a result of disruption of the conduction of electrical impulses within the ventricles of the heart. VVP refers to a group of cardiac conduction disorders and can manifest at various levels of the cardiac conduction system, distal to the atrioventricular node.

The atrioventricular node (AVN) is the main site of formation of electrical impulses of the heart. It is located in the wall of the right atrium and is responsible for transmitting electrical signals from the atria to the ventricles. However, if there are obstacles or disturbances in the conduction of these impulses inside the ventricles, this leads to the appearance of intraventricular block.

Intraventricular block can be classified according to various levels and degrees of impulse conduction disturbance. There are three types of intraventricular block: first degree, second degree and third degree.

First-degree intraventricular block is characterized by a slowdown in the conduction of electrical impulses inside the ventricles. This means that the impulses are delayed but still reach their destination. In this case, patients usually do not experience severe symptoms and may not require special treatment.

Second-degree intraventricular block means that some electrical impulses do not reach the ventricles and are blocked, which can cause heart rhythm problems. Patients may experience symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, low blood pressure, or fainting. In some cases, medical intervention may be required to restore normal heart rhythm.

The most serious form of intraventricular block is third-degree block, in which electrical impulses are completely blocked and do not reach the ventricles. This can cause serious heart rhythm problems and cause fainting or heart failure. Patients with third degree block usually require immediate treatment, including implantation of a pacemaker.

Treatment for IVB block may include various methods, depending on the type and extent of the block. In some cases, observation without treatment may be necessary, especially with first-degree blockade. However, more serious cases may require medication or cardiac stimulation procedures, including pacemaker implantation.

In conclusion, intraventricular block is a cardiac disorder associated with disruption of the conduction of electrical impulses within the ventricles of the heart. This is a serious condition that can cause a variety of symptoms and require medical attention. If you suspect an IVB block or are experiencing heart problems, it is important to see a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Intraventricular block (B.) is a disturbance in the conduction of an electrical impulse in the heart, which occurs at any level of the conduction system distal (below) the atrioventricular (atrioventricular) node. This can be caused by various reasons, such as myocardial ischemia (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle), arrhythmias (heart rhythm disturbances), cardiomyopathy (disease of the heart muscle) and others.

With B., the electrical impulse cannot pass through the conduction pathways of the heart, which leads to disruption of the heart and can lead to serious complications such as heart failure, arrhythmias, and even cardiac arrest.

Various methods are used to diagnose B., including electrocardiography (ECG), echocardiography, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Treatment depends on the cause of B. and may include drug therapy, surgery, or a combination of both methods.

It is important to note that B. can occur in people of any age and gender, and its prevention and treatment are important tasks for cardiologists and other specialists.
