Answers:
So what kind of heart block are we talkin' there is a first, second, Wenckebach's block and third degree block...A heart block is a disease in the electrical system of the heart.
Your heart uses electrical conduction to pump blood...if there is a problem with your electrical system it can create a pause or disruption in your conduction.
In first-degree heart block, the electrical signal is slowed as it moves through the heart.
In second degree heart block, electrical signals between the atria and ventricles are slowed to a large degree.
In third degree heart block, none of the electrical signals reach the ventricles. This type also is called complete heart block or complete AV block.
Wenckebach's block the electrical signals are delayed more and more with each heartbeat, until the heart skips a beat.Health Question & Answer

There are various types of heart blocks. You don't really give enough information to get a good response. Your best bet is to go back to the doctor and tell him/her that you didn't understand what your diagnosis is.Health Question & Answer
