Heart block occurs due to dysregulation in the electrical impulses as they travel from the heart's upper chambers (atria) to the lower chambers (ventricles). This can cause an irregular or slow heartbeat and may lead to dizziness, fainting, and shortness of breath. Various factors, including heart disease, medication, infection, or genetics, can cause it. Heart block is treated by medications or pacemaker implantation.
