Heart block refers to a condition where the electrical signals that control the heartbeat are partially or completely blocked as they travel through the heart. This can lead to a slowed heart rate or irregular rhythms, which may cause symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, or fainting. There are different degrees of heart block, ranging from first-degree, which is usually mild, to third-degree (complete heart block), which can be life-threatening and often requires treatment like a pacemaker.

What is a left side bubble block mean in my heart?
You probably misheard bundle as bubble. Like me, you have left bundle branch block. Google that for more info.
What does right bundle branch block mean?
An incomplete right bundle branch block is an interruption in the heart's electrical conduction system. Incomplete means it has not completely failed.
Which is a very serious type of heart block in which no impulses are conducted to the ventricles?
third degree heart block
What is a second-degree heart block?
In second-degree heart block, not every impulse reaches its destination.
What is a blocked or delayed electrical impulse from the right atrium to the left atrium?
Are you sure you mean right to left atrium (SA block) or do you mean AV block. If SA block the node at the junction is blocked a person will feel light headed and the secondary node will have to keep the heart pace up. The SA node is the primary pacemaker. If it is an AV block the signal will not be transmitted to either ventricle and it too will cause the heart to slow or a beat to be dropped.
What is the interruption of these impulses in the heart's conduction system?
Interruption of the impulses in the heart's conduction system is known as heart block. Heart block may be caused by scar tissue from a heart attack, among other things.
What causes first-degree heart block?
First-degree heart block or AV (arterioventricular) block, or PR prolongation, is a disease of the electrical conduction system of the heart in which the PR interval is lengthened beyond 0.20 seconds.First-degree heart block rarely causes any symptoms or problems and normally remain undiagnozed.RegardsTime is imaginary
What is a third-degree heart block?
Third-degree block, also called complete heart block, is the most serious.
What is the medical term meaning deviation from normal rhythm of the heart?
An ANOMALY is a deviation from what is regarded as normal.
What does left anterior fascicular block mean?
Left anterior fascicular block (LAFB) is a conduction abnormality in the heart's electrical system that can be detected on an electrocardiogram (ECG). It indicates a delay or block in the conduction of electrical impulses in a specific part of the heart's left bundle branch. LAFB is usually considered a benign finding, but it may be associated with underlying heart conditions and should be evaluated by a healthcare provider.
What is the medical term meaning interrupted electrical impulse to heart muscles?
heart block
What are the signs of heart block?
Symptoms include fainting, dizziness and sudden heart failure.
