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 ...

Medically reviewed by Renee Nilan, MDIt can sometimes feel like your heart has momentarily stopped when you sneeze, but this is not the case. Sneezing can cause changes in chest pressure and capacity ...

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.

While not yet completely resolved, the discrepancies that exist among anatomist, basic scientists, and clinical electrophysiologists are slowly dissipating, allowing unique opportunities to once ...
