Key result
Mobitz second-degree AV block can progress to complete heart block and Adams-Stokes seizures.
Why the study?
The instability of Mobitz-type second-degree atrioventricular heart block and its progression to complete heart block and Adams-Stokes seizures is not well characterized.
Mobitz-type second-degree AV block can be unstable and progress to complete heart block and Adams-Stokes seizures.
Supports close monitoring for progression in Mobitz II; leaves open incidence estimates from case reports alone.
Two cases exhibiting the Mobitz-type of second-degree atrioventricular heart block are reported. This rhythm may be unstable, and progression to complete heart block and Adams-Stokes seizures has been observed.
