Type 1 heart block: "Heart block" refers to a problem with the heart's electrical system conducting impulses - an electrical pathway is delayed or blocked which may affect contraction. The description is unclear if they meant "1st degree SA block", "2nd degree SA block, Type 1", "1st degree AV block", or "2nd degree AV block, Type 1". Each are very different; if you can get specifics, then I can be more precise.
