Key result
Atrioventricular conduction is continuously electrical in nature, with the slowest conduction velocity (0.05 m/sec) occurring between the atrium and the A-V node.
This foundational study demonstrates that atrioventricular conduction is purely electrical in nature, identifying the region between the atrium and AV node as having the slowest conduction velocity.

Does not alter AV nodal therapies; leaves open human validation of conduction models.
Scher et al. (1959) studied Atrioventricular conduction. Electrophysiological recording was evaluated on Conduction velocity and mechanism. Atrioventricular conduction is continuously electrical in nature, with the slowest conduction velocity (0.05 m/sec) occurring between the atrium and the A-V node.
