Heart Block
Heart block is a medical condition that occurs when the electrical signals that coordinate the contractions of the heart muscles are slowed or disrupted. This causes the pumping action of the heart to be weakened or completely halted, leading to a decrease in blood flow throughout the body. Heart block can have serious consequences, including dizziness, chest pain, fainting, and even death. In severe cases, treatment with a pacemaker may be necessary to restore the normal functioning of the heart. Proper diagnosis and timely treatment of heart block can help prevent life-threatening complications and improve quality of life.
