    This document discusses different types of heart block abnormalities seen on electrocardiograms (ECGs). It describes Type I or Wenckebach heart block where the PR interval gets progressively longer until a beat is dropped, with the post-pause RR interval being shorter than the preceding two. Type II or Mobitz heart block shows constant PR intervals until a beat is suddenly dropped, with equal pre-and post-pause RR intervals. The document provides examples of ECG tracings demonstrating these two types of heart block.

    Wenckebach) and Type II AV block.

    In "classic" Type I (Wenckebach) AV block the PR interval gets longer (by


    shorter increments) until a nonconducted P wave occurs. The RR interval of
    the pause is less than the two preceding RR intervals, and the RR interval after
    the pause is greater than the RR interval before the pause. These are the
    classic rules of Wenckebach (atypical forms can occur). In Type II (Mobitz)
    AV block the PR intervals are constant until a nonconducted P wave occurs.
    There must be two consecutive constant PR intervals to diagnose Type II AV
    block (i.e., if there is 2:1 AV block we can't be sure if its type I or II). The RR
    interval of the pause is equal to the two preceding RR intervals.

    Type I (Wenckebach) AV block (note the RR intervals in ms duration):

    Type I AV block is almost always located in the AV node,


    which means that the QRS duration is usually narrow, unless
    there is preexisting bundle branch disease.

    Type II (Mobitz) AV block(note there are two consecutive constant PR


    intervals before the blocked P wave):
