In a normal heart, electrical signals use only one path when they move through the heart. This is the atrio-ventricular (A'tre-o ven-TRIK'u-ler) or A-V node. As the electrical signal moves from the heart's upper chambers (the atria) to the lower chambers (the ventricles), it causes the heart to beat. For the heart to beat properly, the timing of the electrical signal is important.
