The atrioventricular node (AV Node) is a bundle of conduction cells that regulate the communication of atrial electrical activity with ventricular electrical activity. The AV node has a long ...

The atrioventricular node (AVN) has mystified generations of investigators over the last century and continues today to be at the epicenter of debates among anatomists, experimentalists ...

AV node ablation can be utilized. Remember that all atrial action potentials must pass through the AV node to reach the ventricle. AV node ablation destroys this connection stopping any atrial ...

There is increasing evidence that cardiac resynchronization therapy devices may be beneficial in selected populations after atrioventricular node ablation. The limitations of this approach include ...

There is both experimental and clinical evidence 11 that extrasystoles and tachycardia originating in the atrioventricular node often cannot be differentiated from corresponding arrhythmias ...

The atrioventricular, or AV, node is the second key area of the heart’s electrical wiring. The atrioventricular node takes information about how fast the heart is beating from the sinoatrial ...

triggered molecular changes in a part of the heart known as the atrioventricular (or AV) node. The work is the latest in a series of studies conducted by the team, showing that endurance exercise ...

The impulse is then passed to another node within the heart – the atrioventricular node (AVN). This node is in the lower part of the right atrium.
