In second-degree AV nodal block (a.k.a. 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 followed by a QRS ...

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 ...

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 ...
