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.
The drugs that most commonly cause first-degree heart block are those that increase the refractory time of the AV node, thereby slowing AV conduction. These include calcium channel blockers, beta-blockers, cardiac glycosides, and anything that increases cholinergic activity such as cholinesterase inhibitors.
