The normal electrical conduction in the heart allows the impulse that is generated by the sinoatrial node (SA node) of the heart to be propagated to (and stimulate) the cardiac muscle (myocardium). The myocardium contracts after stimulation. It is the ordered stimulation of the myocardium that allows efficient contraction of the heart thereby allowing blood to be pumped throughout the body.
