Wenckebach sequence patterns can occur sporadically and in ratios such as 5:4, 4:3, 3:2 and 2:1, often within the same patient. With 2:1 sequences, there is no gradual AV prolongation and this appearance can occur with both Wenckebach and Mobitz type II block.
8 paź 2024 · A review of the ECG characteristics of "fixed ratio blocks", i.e. second degree AV block with 2:1 or 3:1 conduction ratios.
As seen earlier, Wenckebach block conforms to an (n+1)/n relationship; therefore, one might initially struggle with the concept of an 8:3 ratio. However, we have also seen that multiple regions within the AV node and distal conduction system are able to demonstrate Wenckebach behaviour.
8 paź 2024 · Mobitz II is much more likely than Mobitz I to be associated with haemodynamic compromise, severe bradycardia and progression to 3rd degree heart block. Onset of haemodynamic instability may be sudden and unexpected, causing syncope (Stokes-Adams attacks) or sudden cardiac death.
18 lut 2020 · 1st Degree: Delay at sino-atrial junction. No ECG characteristics. 2nd Degree: Type I – sino-atrial Wenckebach. Type II – delay of one, two or three P waves. 3rd degree: Sinus arrest. For sino-atrial Wenckebach block, the sequence is hidden in the sino-atrial node or “pre-P wave”.
