Question 1

are there better and newer treatments for atrioventricular node conduction block?

Accepted Answer

Not really: There are really no medical treatments for av block.  Best treatment is to avoid the medications that cause it or make it worse. If the block is severe enough, pacemaker is usually the treatment.

Question 2

are there some genetic reasons i get atrioventricular node conduction block off and on?

Accepted Answer

No: There are some genetic conditions associated with heart block, some associated with deafness. In these cases, the heart block is permanent. If your heart block is transitory, it may be related to some medications you are taking (if any) or underlying conditions, depending on your age. You should see a doctor to determine if further tests or treatments (e.g. Pacemaker) are needed.

Question 3

what sort of problem is an atrio-ventricular node conduction block?

Accepted Answer

AV block: The av node is specialized tissue in the heart that normally modifies/delays electrical impulses transmitted from the upper chambers (atria) to the lower chambers (ventricles). If the delay is too intense, conduction slows abnormally and "block" is said to be present. The severity can vary from insignificant /no symptoms to passing out, even death. A simple ekg can usually diagnose the severity.

Question 4

could atrioventricular block be the cause of fatigue?

Accepted Answer

AV block: Fatigue is typical of complete av block, common with second degree av block and unusual with first degree av block.

Question 5

does atrioventricular dissociation cause heart block?

Accepted Answer

Heart Block: Yes av dissociation can cause heart block, like third degree heart block is complete av dissociation but all av dissociation are not heart block.

Question 6

what can cause intraventricular conduction delay?

Accepted Answer

Intraventricular del: IVCD can be caused by anatomic or physiologic factors which would slow electrical conduction in the ventricles. Scar tissue, infiltration of abnormal tissue, electrolyte abnormality, ischemia, infarction and lots of things can cause intraventricular conduction delay.

Question 7

what causes atrial tachycardia w/aberrant conduction in a young person?

Accepted Answer

There are many: causes of atrial tachycardia in a young person but most likely this is a physiological response to some form of stimulation. Anxiety, excitement, dehydration, fever can all be associated with this. The aberrant conduction is a reflection of normal physiology if the heart rate is fast enough or could represent a minor abnormality of the conduction system.

Question 8

what are some causes of intraventricular conduction delay?

Accepted Answer

Intraventricular del: IVCD can be caused by anatomic or physiologic factors which would slow electrical conduction in the ventricles. Scar tissue, infiltration of abnormal tissue, electrolyte abnormality, ischemia, infarction and lots of things can cause intraventricular conduction delay.

Question 9

can right ventricular conduction delay be causes from being over weight?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: It is possible that being overweight would predispose you to a breathing condition called obstructive sleep apnea where you are not breathing fully at night.
This then leads to a stress on the heart and causes the right ventricular conduction delay.
There are other healthy people without sleep apnea who have conduction delay.  This is not necessarily dangerous, but call your doctor for a check.

Question 10

what type of cardiac conduction problems can adderrall cause if overused? can it cause permanent svt?

Accepted Answer

Permanent SVT: Unlikely but may exacerbate svt.
