Second-degree AV block Mobitz type I (Wenckebach block) As mentioned above, second-degree AV block Mobitz type 1 is sometimes referred to as Wenckebach block. In these circumstances, you need immediate medical intervention. Compared to type 1 2nd degree heart block, type 2 is less common but it is more serious and often develops into third degree heart block. Mobitz type II: With this type of heart block, electrical signals may fail to reach the ventricles, resulting in randomly dropped heartbeats. Note how inconsistent the 'PRI' lengths are! With the 3rd Degree AV Block the PRIs lengths vary because the atria and ventricles are depolarizing independently. Second-degree AV block Mobitz type II is characterized by sporadically occurring blocks, without any Wenckebach phenomenon. Mobitz Type 2 In this condition, some electrical signals will never reach the ventricles. Each has its own pacemaker working independently. Risk of complete AV block is difficult to predict, and a pacemaker is usually indicated. There is no progressive slowing of the electrical signal. In patients with high-grade second-degree AV block, the distinction between Mobitz type I AV block and Mobitz type II AV block is difficult to make because 2 P waves are never conducted in a row. The 3rd Degree AV Block is often referred to as a complete heart block because there is no communication or association of the atria and ventricles. The electrical signals sometimes get to the ventricles, and sometimes they dont. Please see below Interpretation: 2nd Degree AV Block Mobitz II: 2:1 Conduction (The arrows point out the 'P' waves) The 2nd Degree AV Block Mobitz II very often develops a 2:1 conduction with 2 'P' waves for every QRS complex. Mobitz Type II AV block), the AV node becomes completely refractory to conduction on an intermittent basis. Interpretation: 2nd Degree AV Block Mobitz IIĬlass, please note below. In second-degree type II AV nodal block (a.k.a. NOTE: There is NO underlying rhythm with the 2nd Degree AV Block Mobitz II Interpretation: 2nd Degree AV Block Mobitz I NOTE: There is NO underlying rhythm with the 2nd Degree AV Block Mobitz I For example, the rhythm above would be interpreted this way: A normal heart rate can fluctuate from 60 to 175 beats per minute, but in second degree Mobitz type II, your dogs heart can skip beats and become slower. It’s characterized by impulses from the sinus node that periodically don’t reach the ventricles. Circulation.NOTE: In the interpretation always state the underlying rhythm. Second degree heart block type 2 is also called Mobitz type 2. In this type of second degree heart block there is intermittent failure of the AVN to conduct the atrial depolarisation to the ventricles.
