If second-degree type I AV block is present, then the heart rate will increase and the progressive prolongation of PR intervals prior to a non-conducted P wave will be apparent. [healio.com]

ECG Rhythm: Sinus rhythm is present wth P waves recorded at a rate of 75 per minute. Not every P wave is followed by a QRS complex and dropped beats occur; second degree AV (heart) block is present. [stemlynsblog.org]

Therefore, if symptoms are presenting where cardiac output if falling (low blood pressure, weak pulse, mental status change, pale etc.) you need help so activate the emergency response team. Atropine or temporary pacing may be needed. [registerednursern.com]

  Polygenic diseases are, e.g. hypertension, diabetes, atherosclerosis, coronary disease, etc. [medix.hr]

  Medications, particularly for hypertension, can exacerbate already slow conduction through a diseased AV node leading to symptomatic AV block. Acute coronary syndromes, i.e. heart attacks, can lead to transient versus permanent degrees of AV block. [washingtonhra.com]

• Palpitations

  If patients with 1st or 2nd degree AV block are symptomatic, they may describe palpitations, an irregular heartbeat or the feeling of “missing a beat.” [clinicaladvisor.com]

  He is currently feeling well but has some concerns since he occasionally has palpitations. Medical history is unremarkable and he takes a daily multivitamin. He denies any alcohol or smoking history. [step2.medbullets.com]

  The Holter showed a Mobitz II second degree AVB during the moments of maximum heart rate and a 2:1 AVB during an episode of clinical palpitations. [revespcardiol.org]

  These include palpitations, skipped-beats, dizziness, lightheadedness, syncope (loss of consciousness), fatigue and weakness, confusion, and even angina (chest pain). Any symptoms of syncope or chest pain require urgent medical evaluation. [washingtonhra.com]

  Patients with second degree block will frequently complain of palpitations or skipped beats or may feel lightheaded or dizzy. They may occasionally experience near syncope or syncope (passing out). The above EKG shows an example of Mobitz type I. [equimedcorp.com]

• Skipped Beats

  Finally, an atrial impulse is blocked in the AV node and fails to conduct to the ventricles, leading to a skipped beat. [washingtonhra.com]

  This causes the heart to in effect, skip or drop a beat. The arrows point to the dropped beats when the P waves were not conducted to the ventricles. Treatment is often not indicated with Mobitz type I. [equimedcorp.com]

Except for a first-degree heart block, the rest of the patients should be referred to a cardiologist for more definitive workup. Some of these patients may require a pacemaker which can be life-saving. [statpearls.com]

• Narrow QRS Complex

  A narrow QRS complex suggests nodal arrhythmia and likely type I block, while a wide complex indicates an infranodal location and type II block. [clinicaladvisor.com]

  The electrocardiogram showed high degree AV block with narrow QRS complexes. The His bundle electrogram displayed a split His deflection indicating impairment of conduction within the His bundle of the Mobitz II type. [heart.bmj.com]

  Narrow QRS complexes suggest Wenkebach type 2:1 AV block. Click here for a more detailed ECG ECG 3. Holter recording shows Wenkebach phenomenon. PR interval gradually prolongs and the 5th beat from the left is not conducted. [metealpaslan.com]

  The underlying rhythm here is a junctional escape rhythm with narrow QRS complexes and a rate of approximately 65 beats/minute. [merckmanuals.com]

• Wide QRS Complex

  It is characterized by short PR intervals, delta waves, and wide QRS complexes. [utmb.edu]

  In this situation, the QRS complex may be wide, and the baseline PR interval is usually shorter with smaller PR increments preceding the block. [emedicine.medscape.com]

  A narrow QRS complex suggests nodal arrhythmia and likely type I block, while a wide complex indicates an infranodal location and type II block. [clinicaladvisor.com]

  When the block is below the AV node (Mobitz II and complete heart block), a ventricular escape rhythm produces a wide QRS complex with rates that are much slower (20-40 bpm) [2]. [emdocs.net]

  Given evidence of extant infranodal conduction disease by virtue of a wide QRS complex, the very long PR interval, both left and right bundle branch blocks on prior electrocardiograms, and the patient’s history of syncope, this patient has substrate for [jamanetwork.com]

• Prolonged PR Interval

  Normal p-waves Atrial rate normal and rhythm regular Normal QRS complex <0.12 seconds Ventricular rate is slower than atrial rate and rhythm will be irregular (this is because QRS complexes are missing) Gradually lengthening or prolonged PR intervals [registerednursern.com]

  On the other hand, if the blocked P wave is not preceded by a prolonging PR interval, this is a Mobitz II type, possibly infranodal, and possibly portending a worse prognosis. [thoracickey.com]

  Mobitz I or Wenckebach block will show a progressive prolongation of the PR interval, until a ventricular beat is missed. Mobitz II AV block consists of a constant PR interval with intermittent missed beats. [wikidoc.org]

  The classic EKG finding of this condition is a prolonged PR interval. [washingtonhra.com]

  First-degree heart block is recognized by a prolonged PR interval without any dropped beats. “Second-degree heart block is defined by one or more impulses not reaching the ventricles and is classified as type I and type II. [timeofcare.com]

• Short PR Interval

  A long PR interval with a narrow QRS suggests an intranodal block. A short PR interval with intraventricular conduction delay or bundle branch block suggests disease below the node. [wikidoc.org]

  It is characterized by short PR intervals, delta waves, and wide QRS complexes. [utmb.edu]

  In Type II (Mobitz) AV block the PR intervals are constant until a nonconducted P wave occurs. There must be two consecutive constant PR intervals to diagnose Type II AV block (i.e., if there is 2:1 AV block we can't be sure if its type I or II). [ecg.utah.edu]

  So we've got a nice short PR interval, then a little longer, then a little longer here until our whole QRS complex is dropped, and this is second-degree AV block type 1. [leveluprn.com]

• Sinus Arrhythmia

  arrhythmia[edit] Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) is typically a benign, normal variation in heart rate that occurs during each breathing cycle: the heart rate increases when breathing in and decreases when breathing out.[1] RSA was first recognized [en.wikipedia.org]

  Type II SA Block PP intervals fairly constant (unless sinus arrhythmia present) until conduction failure occurs. [ecg.utah.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]

  Carotid sinus massage paradoxically eliminates infranodal block by slowing the sinus rate[7]. Another type of classification used to classify second-degree AV block is 2:1 AV block and high-grade AV block. [wikidoc.org]

• Sinus Arrest

  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]

• Premature Atrial Contractions

  Rather than AV block, the rhythm in the figure represents an insightful example of the "mischief" that blocked premature atrial contractions (PACs) can cause, especially when PACs are frequent. [ahcmedia.com]

  In some cases, second-degree atrioventricular block must be differentiated from other causes of pauses such as non-conducted premature atrial contractions or atrial tachycardia with block. [wikidoc.org]

  Nonconducted premature atrial contractions and atrial tachycardia with block are common conditions, which may mimic second-degree AV block. [jem-journal.com]
