- sinus bradycardia,
- premature atrial contractions,
- atrial fibrillation,
- atrial flutter,
- supraventricular tachycardia,
- heart block,
- premature ventricular contractions,
- ventricular tachycardia,

A wide range of these conduction abnormalities in the heart are visible in an ECG (electrocardiogram).
