 | | A change in the heart block can alert the doctor to a change in the status of the heart. | | | In this condition, no electrical impulses pass from the upper to the lower parts of the heart, so the lower part starts beating on its own, but at a much slower rate than is healthy. | | | Certain medicines can also cause heart block if the levels in the body build up too much. |
