In patients with atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD), the occurrence of nonsurgical AV block has been reported. We have looked for an explanation in the development of the AV conduction system.
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 signals ...
Some consider 2:1 AV block to be type II block, claiming that the PR interval doesn't lengthen. What they don't realize is that determining whether the PR interval lengthens requires at least 2 ...
A first-degree AV node block occurs when conduction through the AV node is slowed, thus delaying the time it takes for the action potential to travel from the SA node, through the AV node, and to the ...
Abnormal heart rhythms (dysrhythmias) are caused by disturbances in electrical impulse generation or by abnormal conduction between chambers of the heart – principally within the sinus node, ...
A trifascicular block is the combination of a right bundle branch block, left anterior or posterior fascicular block and a first-degree AV block (prolonged PR interval). The term “trifascicular block” ...
Yogesh N. Reddy, MBBS: Hi. This is Yogesh Reddy, cardiology fellow at Mayo Clinic. Today we will be discussing the very common clinical scenario of a left bundle branch block (LBBB) on ...
