2024年10月8日 · A review of the basic ECG features, causes and pathophysiology of Mobitz I AV Block (Wenckebach Phenomenon) with some example ECGs.

Mobitz type 1 block is characterized by a gradual prolongation of the PR interval over a few heart cycles until an atrial impulse is completely blocked, which manifests on the ECG as a P-wave not followed by a QRS complex. This cycle repeats itself over and over again, such that every cycle ends with a blocked P-wave.

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. Third-degree (complete AV) block – No atrial impulses conduct to the ventricle.

2025年3月4日 · Mobitz type I, also known as Wenckebach block, is a type of 2 nd degree AV block, which refers to a cardiac arrhythmia that reflects a conduction block at the atrioventricular AV node. In Mobitz type I, atrial impulses travelling through the AV node take increasingly longer to fully conduct to the ventricles, until one impulse is completely ...

2023年7月25日 · Mobitz type I, also known as the Wenckebach block, is a subtype of second-degree atrioventricular (AV) block. Mobitz type I is a type of conduction disorder, which happens when the electrical...

2023年8月14日 · 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.

Second degree heart block which is also called Mobitz 1 or Wenckebach is a disease of the electrical conduction system of the heart in which the has progressive prolongation until finally the atrial impulse is completely blocked and does not produce a QRS electrical impulse.

Explore the AV node, PQ interval, and Wenckebach phenomenon. Learn about second-degree AV block (Mobitz I & II), ECG features, and ventricular conduction.

A second-degree atrioventricular (AV) block type I is also known as Wenckebach or Mobitz type I. This rhythm occurs at the AV node, where conduction of an electrical impulse is impaired. Impulses from the AV node progressively slow until an impulse fails to conduct to the ventricles (the impulse is then considered “blocked”); this cycle ...

Note the PR interval on the EKG strip. See how the PR interval are progressively lengthening and then all of a sudden a QRS complex is missing and then the pattern starts all over? This is the key in understanding a Wenckebach.
