1st Degree Heart Block
Definition
Prolonged PR interval (0.3 sec)
Term
2nd Degree Heart Block
Mobitz Type 1
Wenckebach
Definition
PR interval progressively prolongs until a P wave fails to conduct to the ventricle.
Term
2nd Degree Heart Block
Mobitz Type 2
Definition
P waves march out but not all P waves conduct to the ventricle, thus not all P waves are followed by a QRS. There is no prolongation of the PR interval
