Internodal Pathways

Summary Information: Internodal Pathways

Internodal Pathways: The internodal pathways of the heart are a part of the electrical conduction system of the heart. The internodal pathways are located in the wall of the heart's atria and conduct impulses from the sinoatrial node to the atrioventricular node. Electrical impulses flow through the atria and the internodal pathways, causing the atria to contract and squeeze blood into the ventricles.

Conditions that afflict the internodal pathways include cardiac arrhythmias, atrial fibrillation, ventricular fibrillation, tachydysrhythmias, bradydysrhythmias, heart blocks, myocardial infarction, and cardiac arrest.
