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 ...

2:1 atrioventricular block is a form of second-degree AV nodal block and occurs when every other P wave is not conducted through the AV node to get to the ventricles, and thus every other P wave is ...

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 ...

In figure 1, the 4th beat in tracing (a) suddenly has a longer PR interval than the others. The findings in tracing (b) suggest AV Wenckebach phenomenon (type I 2° AV block). The findings in tracing ...

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 ...

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 ...
