• 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]

• Palpitations with Skipped Beats

  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]

  Neurologic disorders tend to cause constant vertigo or disequilibrium and usually have other symptoms of neurologic dysfunction associated with the vertigo. [en.wikipedia.org]

  Persistent bradycardia is associated with symptoms such as fatigue, inability to concentrate, cognitive impairment, dizziness, shortness of breath or exercise intolerance, whereas intermittent bradycardia presents more often with vertigo, blurred vision [cardiovascmed.ch]

• Narrow QRS Complex

  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]

• Prolonged PR Interval

  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]

  Mobitz Type 1/Wenkebach: »Progressively increasing PR Interval »Then a P wave fails to conduct »The PR interval then goes back to normal »AND the cycle repeats again b. [youtube.com]

  Thus the PR interval will be prolonged. The PR interval is normally 0.12-0.20 seconds or 120 to 200 milliseconds. A PR interval consistently longer than 0.20 seconds (greater than 5 small boxes) indicates a 1st degree AV block. [healio.com]

  The providers further interpreted this ECG to show a prolonged PR interval and peaked T waves (Figure 1). [hindawi.com]

  […] is “dropped” R-R Intervals: Equal when QRS complex is present QRS Complexes: Normal and after each P wave, but are absent periodically Key Points: The Second Degree AV Block Type I is characterized by a progressively prolonged PR interval. [emtresource.com]

• 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]

  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]
