Electrical vs fluid: Imagine a pump with loose wiring from the switch to the motor. Could there be a delay (after turning on the switch) before the pump starts working, but the pump works fine? That's the analogy. 1st degree AV block is an electrical delay on EKG from the switch (upper atria) to the motor (lower ventricular chambers). It says nothing about how the blood moves, which is in the nuclear stress images.
