Cardiac conductivity

Cardiac conductivity refers to the heart's ability to generate and transmit electrical signals that coordinate its contractions. These electrical impulses begin in the sinoatrial (SA) node, the heart’s natural pacemaker, and travel through specialized pathways to the atria and ventricles. This process ensures the heart beats in a regular, rhythmic way, effectively pumping blood throughout the body. Proper conductivity is essential for maintaining a steady heartbeat; disruptions can lead to irregular rhythms or arrhythmias, which may require medical attention to restore normal heart function.
