AVkonduksjon
AVkonduksjon refers to the conduction of electrical impulses through the atrioventricular node (AV node) in the heart. This node is a crucial component of the cardiac conduction system, responsible for delaying the electrical signal from the atria to the ventricles. This delay is essential for allowing the atria to complete their contraction and effectively pump blood into the ventricles before the ventricles themselves begin to contract.
The process begins when an electrical impulse generated by the sinoatrial (SA) node, the heart's natural pacemaker,
Dysfunction of AVkonduksjon can lead to various heart rhythm abnormalities, known as arrhythmias. For example, a
