What Does AV Stand For?
AV stands for Atrio Ventricular Cardiac
AV, or Atrio Ventricular Cardiac, refers to the crucial anatomical and functional relationship between the atria and ventricles of the heart. This system plays a vital role in regulating the heart's electrical conduction, ensuring coordinated contractions and effective blood circulation. The AV node, a key component of this system, acts as a gateway for electrical signals between the atria and ventricles, influencing heart rhythm and overall cardiovascular health.
