cardiac conduction

The term “cardiac conduction” refers to the specialized system of electrical pathways and nodes in the heart that coordinate heartbeat by generating and transmitting electrical impulses. This process ensures the heart muscles contract in a synchronized manner, maintaining a consistent and effective circulation of blood throughout the body. Key components of the cardiac conduction system include the sinoatrial (SA) node, atrioventricular (AV) node, bundle of His, bundle branches, and Purkinje fibers. Understanding cardiac conduction is essential in fields such as cardiology and medical research, especially when diagnosing and treating arrhythmias and other heart conditions.
