What Does AVB Stand For?
AVB stands for Atrio Ventricular Block
AVB, or Atrioventricular Block, is a medical condition characterized by a disruption in the electrical signals that coordinate the beating of the heart. This block occurs at the atrioventricular node, which connects the atria and ventricles, potentially leading to various degrees of heart block. Symptoms may include fatigue, dizziness, or syncope, and the severity can range from mild to life-threatening. Management often involves monitoring, medication, or the implantation of a pacemaker, depending on the severity and underlying causes of the block.
