In second-degree atrioventricular nodal block — also known as Wenckebach block or Mobitz Type I AV block — varying failure of conduction through the AV node occurs, such that some P waves may not be ...

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 ...

LOS ANGELES — Substituting biventricular (BiV) pacing for standard right ventricular pacing led to significant improvements in survival and hospitalization for heart-failure patients with ...

This ECG has both second degree AV block with 2:1 block and second degree type I AV block. Note that intermittent P waves conduct to the ventricles on this ECG tracing, however it is clear that some ...

There are three types of second degree heart block, also called atrioventricular (AV) block. In type I the signal sometimes does not reach the ventricles, causing skipped beats. It is often benign and ...

MINNEAPOLIS - Medtronic, Inc. today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved an expanded indication for biventricular (BiV) pacing with Medtronic cardiac resynchronization ...

All cases admitted or discharged from our institution between January 2008 and June 2009 with a diagnosis of AV block were reviewed. In addition, beginning in June 2009, data from all patients ...

Patients with atrioventricular (AV) block generally receive right ventricular pacing; cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been restricted to patients with a low ejection fraction and a wide ...

Right ventricular pacing restores an adequate heart rate in patients with atrioventricular block, but high percentages of right ventricular apical pacing may promote left ventricular systolic ...

A 31-year-old woman with no significant medical history presents with intermittent heart palpitations, dizziness, shortness of breath, and fatigue provoked by exercise. Can you make the diagnosis? A ...
