Then, the current flows to an area known as the bundle of His, which divides into two branches (LBB and RBB) and is the only physiological pathway connecting the atria with the ventricles. In healthy individuals occurs during exercising or strong emotions. AFIB/AFL – atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter episodes.
