The conduction system of the heart controls the electrical impulses that regulate heartbeats. It begins with the sinoatrial (SA) node, known as the heart’s natural pacemaker, located in the right atrium. The SA node generates electrical signals that cause the atria to contract, pushing blood into the ventricles.

The signal then reaches the atrioventricular (AV) node, which slows it down slightly to allow the ventricles to fill with blood. From the AV node, the signal travels down the bundle of His and into the Purkinje fibers, which cause the ventricles to contract, pumping blood to the lungs and body.
