Type one second degree AV block is characterized by progressive lengthening of successive PR intervals until an atrial impulse fails to conduct to the ventricles. The lack of conduction to the ventricles results in a pause in the rhythm and the absence of a QRS complex on the ECG. Notice how the baseline PR interval (i.e., the first PR interval following a non-conducted P wave) lengthens from beat to beat until a beat is dropped. Although it is obvious in this example, this finding can actually be quite subtle. In less conspicuous cases, it can help to compare the baseline PR interval -which is the shortest - with the PR interval preceding the non-conducted P wave – which is typically the largest. It is important to note that although baseline PR interval is usually normal in duration, it can be prolonged if there is a co-existing first degree heart block. Another finding typical of Mobitz I, which is hard to appreciate in this illustration, is an R-R interval that progressively shortens. The R-R interval is the longest following a dropped beat, and then shortens with successive beats until an atrial impulse fails to conduct to the ventricles. The ratio of atrial impulses that are conducted to the ventricles is usually between 3:2 and 7:6. However, this ratio can vary between cycles. Nonetheless, each group begins and ends with a P wave. In this example, the atrial-to-ventricular conduction ratio is 4:3. • Type two second degree AV block is characterized by constant PR intervals and an intermittent failure of the atrial impulse to conduct to the ventricles. Unlike in Mobitz I, the PR intervals are consistent between all conducted beats. As well the R-R intervals are constant and the rhythm is regular until a beat is dropped. This can be referred to as a patterned irregularity. As in Mobitz I, the ratio of atrial impulses that are conducted to the ventricles is usually between 3:2 and 7:6. Again, this ratio can vary between cycles. • With 2:1 AV block, there is only one PR interval within a grouping. The PR intervals between groups, however, are constant. As are the R-R intervals, unless the degree of block is variable. • When the degree of AV block is greater than 2:1, the dysrhythmia is referred to as high grade – or advanced – AV block. High grade AV block can be confused with third degree AV block, however conducted P waves will have a consistent PR interval. • 📺 Subscribe To My Channel and Get More Great Quizzes and Tutorials • / @med4vl • #FOAMed #cardiology #ECG • Disclaimer: All the information provided by Medical Education for Visual Learners and associated videos are strictly for informational purposes only.
