Lɛ wi tɔk bɔt At Blɔk insay simpul wɔd dɛn!

Wi at tan lɛk wan wɔndaful mashin we de wok insay wan patikyula ritm, nɔto so? Bɔt sɔntɛnde dis ritm kin kɔmɔt na do smɔl. Yu go dɔn fil se yu at de bit smɔl smɔl, wantɛm wantɛm i de skip wan bit, ɔ yu chɛst de fil tayt. Wan pan di men rizin fɔ dis na wan kɔndishɔn we dɛn kɔl ‘At Blɔk’. Nɔ fred we yu yɛri dis nem. Tide wi go tɔk bɔt dis, dat na di blɔk we di at in ilɛktrik signal dɛn de blok, insay wan rili simpul we we yu go ɔndastand.

Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, wetin na At Blɔk?

Fɔ ɔndastand dis, lɛ wi fɔs luk aw wi at de wok. Imajin se yu at tan lɛk os we gɛt 4 rum dɛn. Tu rum de na di ɔp flo (we wi kɔl di Atria) ɛn tu rum dɛn de na di dɔŋ flo (we na di Ventricles). Fɔ mek di at bit, ilɛktrik signal fɔ kɔmɔt na di ɔp flɔ to di dɔŋ flɔ.

as dis ilektrikal signal de travul frכm di כp to di lכw chεmba dεm, i de pas tru wan sכmכl jכnkshכn (dεn kכl am di AV node insay mεdikal sayns) bitwin di tu. di at blכk min se sכm tin de we de ambɔg, delay, כ komplit stכp di ilektrikal signal we i de travul tru dis jכnkshכn.

Wetin kin apin we dis ilɛktrik signal nɔ de go tru fayn? biכs di hat in chεmba dεm (sεl dεm) nכ de gεt di signal di rayt tεm, di at de bit sloslo כ skip sכm bit dεm . If i siriɔs, di at nɔ kin ebul fɔ pɔmp inof blɔd to di bɔdi. Dis kin mek di blɔd nɔ go na di wan ol bɔdi.

Dis sik kin kam leta na layf, mɔr lɛk we i dɔn ol, pas fɔ de we dɛn bɔn am. Dɛn kin kɔl am bak Atrioventricular (AV) blɔk.

Wetin na di men kayn at blɔk?
