Atrioventricular Block (AVB) (bloqueo auriculoventricular (BAV))

Contexto del término Atrioventricular block (AVB) is a well-recognized condition due in most cases either to idiopathic disease of ventricular conduction tissue, the His-Purkinje system, or to ischemic damage to this tissue. Amongst the less common causes are invasion of calcification from calcific aortic valve stenosis and congenital. As AVB became better understood, particularly by employing increasingly sophisticated electrocardiographic monitoring, it became evident that lesser examples of the disease, such as bundle branch block, tended to progress over months or years.
