Atrioventricular Blocks
The result is a
prolonged PR
interval or nonconducted P waves.

Second Degree
Type I ( Mobitz Type I,
Wenckebach)
Type II (Mobitz Type II)
Second Degree AV
Block
Mobitz Type I
Rate
depends on AV conduction
ratio, may be
less than 60
Rhythm
irregular
P wave
normal, some P waves are
not followed by a
QRS
(conduction ratios
are
3:2, 4:3, 5:4 etc. )
PRI
progressively lengthens
until one p wave is not
conducted
(missing
QRS)
QRS
normal
Second-Degree AV Block,
Type 1 (Mobitz I, Wenckebach)

Second Degree AV
Block
Mobitz Type II
Rate
depends on AV conduction
ratio, usually
the rate is less
than 60
Rhythm
irregular
P wave
normal, some P waves are
not followed by a
QRS
(conduction
ratios are
2:1, 3:1, 4:1 etc. )
PRI
may be normal or
prolonged: constant
before the conducted
beats.
QRS
may be normal or greater than
.12 seconds
Second-Degree AV Block,
Type 2 (Mobitz II)

Rate
Ventricular rate will
depend on the
escape pacemaker
Rhythm
regular
P wave
normal but no
relationship between the
P
waves and QRS
PRI
None (none of the
waves are
conducted)
QRS
may be normal or
greater than .12
seconds
