It has to do with the electrical impulse passing through the nodes of the heart. If you have no symptoms, and are fairly young, it is probably a normal variation. If you have symptoms, your cardiologist could recommend appropriate treatment to avoid a lifethreatening heartblock.

A conduction impulse delay heart condition just means that your heart is taking longer than normal to relay the impulse for the beating of the heart from the top of the heart to the bottom. It is diagnosed on an EKG by a longer than normal delay between the P wave and the QRS complex. All that fancy talk just means that your heart is slow to send the information down the pipe to the rest of the heart. This can be normal in an elderly person. There are also different types of blocks from Type 1 to Type 3. People walk around with Type 1 all the time with no difficulty. Type 2 and 3 need further evaluation.

I am not sure, some times people have sick sinus.
I can also say for sure it is called a heart block. If the electrical impulse is just delayed and all the impulses cross the AV node, its called a 1st degree heart block.

If the delay is on the right side, it is typically nothing to worry about. If it is on the left (a Left Bundle Branch Block, AKA LBBB), it may indicate an underlying heart problem. You would typically be referred to a cardiologist for further exploration in such a case.
