In second-degree type II AV nodal block (a.k.a. Mobitz Type II AV block), the AV node becomes completely refractory to conduction on an intermittent basis. For example, three consecutive P waves may ...
Some consider 2:1 AV block to be type II block, claiming that the PR interval doesn't lengthen. What they don't realize is that determining whether the PR interval lengthens requires at least 2 ...

The diagnosis is NSR, first-degree AV block, 3:1 AV block, Mobitz type II, and high-degree AV block. The rhythm is regular with a rate of 30 beats/min. The QRS complex duration is normal (0.08 sec) ...
Your heart isn’t plugged into an outlet. And you don’t use a switch to turn it on. But just like a lamp, your heart runs on an electrical system. Every time your heart beats, an electrical signal ...
Second-degree heart block is a potentially serious but treatable condition affecting the heart’s electrical system. Treatment may require a pacemaker to stabilize the heart’s rhythm. Electrical ...
Mobitz type I, also known as the Wenckebach block, is a subtype of second-degree atrioventricular (AV) block. Mobitz type I is a type of conduction disorder, which happens when the electrical signals ...
This ECG has both second degree AV block with 2:1 block and second degree type I AV block. Note that intermittent P waves conduct to the ventricles on this ECG tracing, however it is clear that some ...
