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.
First Degree AV Block. First degree AV block is simply an increase in the time it takes for the impulse from the atrium to reach the ventricles. In a normal heart rhythm, the PR interval is in the range of .12 to .20 seconds. In first degree AV block, that interval will exceed .20 seconds and can be as long as .50 seconds in extreme examples. The cause for this delay lies in the AV node.
