I45.9: Conduction disorder, unspecified
The heart’s electrical activity is not spreading normally in your heart.
The heart pumps blood through the body. Inside the heart are 4 chambers. There are 2 heart atria and 2 ventricles. Both heart atria and both ventricles are separated from each other by a partition. The heart’s electrical activity originates in the right atrium. The heart’s electrical activity triggers the heartbeat. The activity then first spreads in the two atria. The activity then flows via a sort of cable from the atria to the ventricles.
The heart’s electrical activity is not spreading normally in your heart. For example, the electrical currents may be flowing too slowly or not flowing at all in certain areas.
