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 AV nodal block (a.k.a. Wenckebach block or Mobitz Type I AV block), varying failure of conduction through the AV node occurs such that some P waves may not be followed by a QRS ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Also known as complete heart block, third-degree heart block is the most serious type of heart block. Considered a medical emergency, it can be fatal without prompt treatment. The steady beating of ...

20% of cases of autoimmune CHB are fatal and 64% of live births require a pacemaker 1.7% of pregnant women positive for anti-Ro or anti-La antibodies have a baby with autoimmune CHB, but the risk ...

There are three types of second degree heart block, also called atrioventricular (AV) block. In type I the signal sometimes does not reach the ventricles, causing skipped beats. It is often benign and ...
