🫀Complete heart block, aka third-degree atrioventricular (AV) block occurs when there is a complete interruption or blockage in the electrical signals between the upper chambers (atria) and lower chambers (ventricles). Because signals are getting blocked, there is no association between the P waves and the QRS complexes causing them both beat independently of each other. The atria maintain their own rhythm, and the ventricles establish a separate rhythm.⁣ ⁣ 𝗦𝘆𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗺𝘀⁣ Patients with compl
