Symptoms of arrhythmias include Fast or slow heart beat Skippingbeats Lightheadedness or dizziness Chest pain Shortness of breath Sweating Your doctor can run tests to find out if you have an arrhythmia.[icdlist.com]
Patients with second degree block will frequently complain of palpitations or skippedbeats 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]
Finally, an atrial impulse is blocked in the AV node and fails to conduct to the ventricles, leading to a skippedbeat.[washingtonhra.com]

Diagnosis of Atrioventricular Block Patients presenting with advanced AV block generally complain of dizziness, vertigo and/or syncope, but may also suffer from any of the above mentioned symptoms of bradyarrhythmias.[revespcardiol.org]
If you truly had Mobitz type II on your Holter monitor, you need to talk to your cardiologist about further workup. While Mobitz II can be due to something that is relatively benign, such as increased vagal tone, it can also be very concerning.[medhelp.org]
MI), admission is indicated to a unit with telemetry monitoring and transcutaneous pacing capabilities Symptomatic patients should be treated with atropine and transcutaneous pacing immediately, followed by transvenous temporary pacing until further workup[emedicine.medscape.com]
This should be managed like a type II with transcutaneous or transvenous pacing until further workup can be completed.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Commonly used terminology includes: First degree AV block – Delayed conduction from the atrium to the ventricle (defined as a prolongedPRinterval of 200 milliseconds) without interruption in atrial to ventricular conduction.[uptodate.com]
Every-other-P wave conducts – as determined by the presence of a fixed ( albeit prolonged ) PRinterval preceding each QRS complex on the tracing. This is 2nd degree AV block with 2:1 AV conduction .[ecg-interpretation.blogspot.com]
In this variant of second degree heart block the PR interval is constant with occasional dropped beats as compared to the gradually prolongingPRinterval in Mobitz type I.[wikidoc.org]
First degree heart block consists of a prolongedPRinterval of more than 200msec. Second degree heart block consists of Mobitz type I and Mobitz type II heart block.[wikidoc.org]
The providers further interpreted this ECG to show a prolongedPRinterval and peaked T waves (Figure 1 ).[hindawi.com]
That said — from a practical treatment perspective — distinguishing between Mobitz I and Mobitz II appears to be less important since a pacemaker may be needed in either case if the high-grade degree of AV block does not improve.[ahcmedia.com]

The Real treatment is placement of a temporary pacemaker wire if unstable. However, not everyone is able to do that and ACLS is meant for the noncardiologists. It is meant to be mindless.[forums.studentdoctor.net]
Yet, many review articles continue to list type II block as one of the manifestations of the athlete's heart. 9 , – , 12 Accurate diagnosis of type II block in athletes is critical and will affect treatment recommendations.[bjsm.bmj.com]
The distinction between type II and type I block is descriptive; of greater importance to the clinician is the anatomic site of the block and the prognosis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Clinically — the importance of distinguishing AV Wenckebach (Mobitz I) from Mobitz II relates to the much better prognosis of Mobitz I, a generally better response to treatment with atropine, and a much lower likelihood of needing a pacemaker.[ahcmedia.com]
Prognosis The prognosis for Mobitz type I (Wenckebach) is excellent. This is usually asymptomatic and requires no intervention in asymptomatic patients. The prognosis for Mobitz type II varies based on the cause of the rhythm.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis [ edit ] Isolated first-degree heart block has no direct clinical consequences. There are no symptoms or signs associated with it. It was originally thought of as having a benign prognosis.[en.wikipedia.org]
