Key result
Advanced second-degree atrioventricular block is characterized by rare episodic signs of AV conduction, distinguishing it from complete AV block where there is no accordance between P waves and QRS complexes.
Educational case discussion on identifying advanced second-degree AV block on an electrocardiogram.
May aid AV block differentiation in practice; leaves open prospective validation before guiding management.
Answer to a Quiz: Electrocardiogram on page 163 and case discussion Correct answer: E -Atrioventricular (AV) block II degree, advancedThe main characteristic of the first-degree AV block is that all P waves are conducted via AV node to ventricles, but with some delay and interval PQ is prolonged -more than 200 ms (Fig. 1).
