Chris Pratt: 'I have great respect for the animals that I kill'. The Jurassic World star on why he hunts, growing up âdirt poorâ and making the shift from comic shlub to blockbuster hero. Alex Godfrey. Saturday 6 June 2015 07.00 EDT Last modified on Tuesday 20 September 2016 10.12 EDT.
First Degree Heart Block Overview. What is a first degree heart block? A person with first degree heart block has a delay in the electrical impulse that travels through the heart. An electrical impulse stimulates the muscle fibers in the heart to contract. The impulse spreads through the heart in a very organized manner, so that the atria contract first, followed by the ventricles.
In first degree heart block or AV block, the two upper chambers of the heart (atria) beat normally, but the contractions of the two lower chambers (ventricles) slightly lag behind because the electrical impulse moves though the AV node more slowly than normal.
