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 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]

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]

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]
