heart block
Heart block refers to a condition where there is a delay or complete block in the transmission of electrical signals that control the heartbeat. It can range from mild to severe conditions, affecting the heart’s rhythm and its ability to pump blood efficiently. It generally occurs due to a defect in the heart's electrical conduction system and is categorized into different degrees based on severity. It can result in slow heartbeats, fatigue, dizziness or even fainting. In severe cases, it can be life-threatening and may require a pacemaker.

Heart block
A heart block is a disease in the electrical system of the heart. This is opposed to coronary artery disease, which is disease of the blood vessels of the heart. While coronary artery disease can cause angina or myocardial infarction, heart block can cause lightheadedness, syncope, and palpitations.
U.S. National Library of Medicine
Heart Block
Impaired conduction of cardiac impulse that can occur anywhere along the conduction pathway, such as between the SINOATRIAL NODE and the right atrium (SA block) or between atria and ventricles (AV block). Heart blocks can be classified by the duration, frequency, or completeness of conduction block. Reversibility depends on the degree of structural or functional defects.
