Many people who have conduction disorders, such as first-degree AV block, may have no obvious signs sign (SINE):
In medicine, signs are evidence of disease that can be found or measured during a physical exam, laboratory test, or medical procedure; some examples include fever, high blood pressure readings, high levels of cholesterol in the blood, high levels of immune cells or inflammatory markers in the blood or other body sample, increased body mass index, low oxygen or high carbon dioxide levels in the blood, and abnormal imaging, biopsy, or other test results. or symptoms symptom (SIMP-tum):
A problem that a patient experiences that may indicate disease but cannot be seen and does not show up on medical tests or procedures; some examples include headache, fatigue, nausea, or pain. .
