ECG Analysis

AV Block
 Partial delays or complete
interruptions in the cardiac conduction
pathway between the atria and
ventricles
 The degree of block defines the type
and classification of heart block
2
AV Block
 Common causes:
◦ Ischemia
◦ Myocardial necrosis
◦ Degenerative disease of the conduction
system
◦ Congenital anomalies
◦ Drugs (especially digitalis preparations)

AV Block
 1st-degree AV heart block
 2nd-degree AV heart block, Mobitz
type I (Wenckebach)
 2nd-degree AV heart block, Mobitz
type II
 3rd-degree AV heart block
4
AV Block
5
1st-degree AV heart block
 Not a true block
 Is a consistent delay of conduction at
the level of the AV node

2nd-Degree AV Heart Block,
Mobitz Type I
 Intermitt
ent block
at the
level of
the AV
node
 Also
referred
to as
Wencke
bach
12
2nd-Degree AV Heart Block,
Mobitz Type I
 More P waves than QRS complexes
and the rhythm has patterned
irregularity
 PR interval increases until a QRS
complex is dropped
 After dropped beat the next PR
interval is shorter
 As each subsequent impulse
generated there is a progressively
longer PR interval until again, a QRS
is dropped
13
2nd-Degree AV Heart Block,
Mobitz Type I
14
2nd-Degree AV Heart Block,
Mobitz Type II
 Intermitten
t block at
the level of
the bundle
of His or
bundle
branches
resulting in
atrial
impulses
that are
not
conducted
to the 16
2nd-Degree AV Heart Block,
Mobitz Type II
17
3rd-Degree AV Heart Block
 Complete block of conduction
at or below the AV node
 Impulses from atria cannot
reach ventricles

Editor's Notes

  • #7 The normal PR interval is 0.12 to 0.20 seconds in duration.
  • #8 The normal PR interval is 0.12 to 0.20 seconds in duration.
  • #23 3
  • #24 2.1
  • #25 Mobitz 2
  • #26 Severe 1 degree
  • #27 Atrial rate 56 BPM, Ventricular rate 56 BPM, regular rhythm, P waves are upright and normal and each is followed by a QRS complex, QRS complexes are normal at 0.08 seconds in duration, PRI has a longer than normal duration 0.30 seconds, QT 0.40 seconds. Sinus bradycardia with 1st-degree AV heart block.
  • #28 Answer: Atrial rate 60 BPM, Ventricular rate 50 BPM, patterned irregularity, normal and upright P waves but not all are followed by a QRS complex, normal QRS complexes at 0.08 seconds, PRI is progressively longer until a QRS complex is dropped and then the cycle starts over again, QT 0.40 seconds. 2nd-degree AV heart block, type I.
  • #29 Answer: 50 BPM (ventricular) 84 BPM (atrial), regular rhythm, P waves are upright and normal but there are more P waves than QRS complexes, QRS complexes are bizarre-looking and wide at 0.20 seconds in duration, PRI is immeasurable (as the P waves are not associated with the QRS complexes), the P waves appear to march through the QRS complexes, QT 0.48 seconds. 3rd-degree AV heart block.

  • #34 Answer: Atrial rate 94 BPM, Ventricular rate 48 BPM, regular rhythm, P waves are upright and normal but there are two P waves preceding each QRS (in other words, not all the P waves are followed by a QRS complex), QRS (more accurately described as RS) complexes are 0.08 seconds in duration, PRI 0.24 seconds and is constant for the conducted beats, QT 0.36 seconds. 2nd-degree AV heart block, type II (there is also a 1st degree AV block).
  • #35 mobitz1
  • #36 Answer: Atrial rate 115 BPM, Ventricular rate 42 BPM, regular rhythm, P waves are upright and normal but there are more P waves than QRS complexes, QRS complexes are normal at 0.12 seconds in duration, PRI is immeasurable (as the P waves are not associated with the QRS complexes), the P waves appear to march through the QRS complexes, QT 0.44 seconds. 3rd-degree AV heart block.
