kammioventrikulaarinen
Kammioventrikulaarinen refers to a characteristic of the heart's electrical system and its coordination. It describes the process by which the ventricles, the lower chambers of the heart, contract and pump blood. This contraction is triggered by an electrical impulse that travels from the atria to the ventricles. The normal sequence of events is crucial for efficient blood circulation.
The electrical signal originates in the sinoatrial (SA) node, then passes through the atrioventricular (AV) node,
Deviations from the normal kammioventrikulaarinen conduction can lead to various heart rhythm disorders, known as arrhythmias.
