Overview of atrioventricular (AV) blocks

…complete blockage of impulse conduction. If such blockage persists for 6 seconds or more, syncope occurs unless an escape rhythm arises. Overview of AV blocks…

Third-degree AV block (3rd degree AV block, AV block 3, AV block III)

…a diagnosis of third degree AV block if the atrial and ventricular rate is equal and the P waves occur right before the QRS complexes…

Second-degree AV block: Mobitz type 1 (Wenckebach) & Mobitz type 2 block

…AV node becomes more and more exhausted (i.e more and more refractory) each time until it is completely refractory and blocks the atrial impulse…

First-degree AV block (AV block I, AV block 1)

…AV block and wide QRS complexes. Treatment of first degree AV block Refer to Management of Atrioventricular (AV) Blocks https://ecgwaves.com/topic/av block…

Sinoatrial block (SA block): ECG criteria, causes and clinical features

…block there is a delay in the conduction from the sinoatrial node to the atrium and this delay increases gradually until one impulse is completely…

Left bundle branch block (LBBB): ECG criteria, causes, management

…QRS duration. A QRS duration of 120 ms (0.12 s) or more is required to diagnose a complete left bundle branch block . In addition…

Junctional rhythm (escape rhythm) and junctional tachycardia

…with automaticity) distal to the block, an escape rhythm may arise in those cells. For example, consider a complete block located in the atrioventricular node…

Vasovagal Syncope: Diagnosis, Tilt Testing and Treatment

…Most cardioinhibitory events are due to sinus bradycardia, though transient atrioventricular (AV) block can also occur. The physiologic response to orthostatic stress is incompletely understood…

Ventricular rhythm and accelerated ventricular rhythm (idioventricular rhythm)

…par with the rate in sinus rhythm and there is atrioventricular conduction, these rhythms typically compete which is seen on the ECG with sinus rhythm…

Intraventricular conduction delay: bundle branch blocks & fascicular blocks

…branch block, in which the right ventricle will be depolarized by impulses spreading from the left ventricle. This will also yield a wide QRS complex…
