If your doctor says you have av block in the heart, does that mean something is starting to block the blood flow?

NO: An av block in the heart usually refers to an abnormality in the electrical conduction system.

Av block : It means the electrical connection between upper and lower chambers is not working normally which usually results in slow heart rate
