This can result in no pulse or a very slow pulse if a back up heart rate is present. What causes heart block? If you are born with heart block, it's called congenital heart block. [urmc.rochester.edu]

Requiring similar P wave morphology when assessing an arrhythmia for AV block eliminates other potential causes of bradycardia such as wandering pacemaker, sinus pauses, and sinus arrest. [ahcmedia.com]

A third degree sinoatrial block looks very similar to a sinus arrest. However, a sinus arrest is caused by a failure to form impulses. A third degree block is caused by failure to conduct them. The rhythm is irregular and either normal or slow. [en.wikipedia.org]

Brief heart block summary Sinus arrest/block and sinoatrial exit block - Sinus node dysfunction, SA node misses one or more cycles. This missed cycle or pause may induce an escape response. [tamingthesru.com]

Arrest If the sinus node has a problem with impulse formation it is defined as a sinus arrest. [textbookofcardiology.org]
