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 ...

AV node ablation destroys this connection stopping any atrial activity from reaching the ventricle. This results in the intrinsic pacemaker of the heart shifting from the atria to the ventricles.

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.

The atrioventricular node (AVN) has mystified generations of ... in regard to correlating components of AVN structure to function, as evidenced by studies from microelectrodes, optical mapping ...

opening the possibility of genetic and cellular manipulation resulting in modification of existing native AVJ pacemaker function. Potentially, proteins or their encoding genes involved in ...

Medically reviewed by Richard N. Fogoros, MD The right atrium is one of the heart's upper chambers that plays a role in blood circulation. It collects deoxygenated blood and directs it on a pathway to ...
