Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Heart block refers to the failure of proper conduction of impulses from the SA node through the rest of the heart.

Other possible options:
A) Coarctation of the aorta: Narrowing of the aorta. 
B) Congestive heart failure: The heart is no longer able to pump blood effectively. 
C) Coronary artery disease: Narrowing of the blood vessels that supply blood and oxygen to the heart. 
D) Endocarditis: Inflammation of the inner lining of the heart. 
F) Fibrillation: Rapid and irregular contractions of the heart muscle. 
G) Flutter: Rapid but regular contractions of the heart muscle. 
H) Patent ductus arteriosus: A heart defect where a blood vessel called the ductus arteriosus fails to close after birth. 
I) Septal defects: Abnormal openings in the wall that separates the two sides of the heart. 
J) Tetralogy of Fallot: A heart defect that involves four separate abnormalities in the heart's structure.
