Second-degree AV block implies that some atrial impulses are completely blocked, which means that not all P-waves are followed by QRS complexes. Second-degree AV block is subdivided into type 1 and type 2 (also called Mobitz type 1 and Mobitz type 2, respectively).

In patients with acquired second-degree Mobitz type II atrioventricular block, high-grade atrioventricular block, or third-degree atrioventricular block not caused by reversible or physiologic causes, permanent pacing is recommended regardless of symptoms.
Second-degree AV block Mobitz type II and third-degree AV block: These cases should almost invariably receive a pacemaker. In the case of Mobitz type 2 with wide QRS complexes, a pacemaker is indicated even in the absence of symptoms. All cases of third-degree AV block necessitate a pacemaker. Related articles.

14 sie 2023 · There are two types of second-degree atrioventricular blocks: Mobitz type I, also known as Wenckebach and Mobitz type II. This activity examines when this condition should be considered on differential diagnosis and how to properly evaluate for it.
6 gru 2022 · Second-degree AV block – Intermittent atrial conduction to the ventricle, often in a regular pattern (eg, 2:1, 3:2), or higher degrees of block, which are further classified into Mobitz type I (Wenckebach) and Mobitz type II second-degree AV block.
8 kwi 2020 · Key points. Atrioventricular (AV) block: involves interruption of impulse transmission from atria to ventricles; identified by characteristic ECG findings. First-degree AV block: consistent PR interval >0.20s; causes include vagal tone, MI, Lyme disease, drugs; usually asymptomatic; managed by stopping AV blocking drugs.
Second-degree (incomplete) heart block: With this type, your heart’s impulses only get to the lower chambers some of the time. The types of second-degree heart block are: Type I, also called Mobitz Type I or Wenckebach’s AV block: This is a less serious form of second-degree heart block.
