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 ...

The atrioventricular, or AV, node is the second key area of the heart’s electrical wiring. The atrioventricular node takes information about how fast the heart is beating from the sinoatrial ...

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.
