1 1st degree AV blockThe normal PR interval is 0.12 - 0.20 sec, or 120 -to- 200 ms. 1st degree AV block is defined by PR intervals greater than 200 ms. This may be caused by drugs, such as digoxin; excessive vagal tone; ischemia; or intrinsic disease in the AV junction or bundle branch system.Knowledge Weavers ECG
2 2nd degree AV block with junctional escapes and capturesSecond degree AV block is present; conducted beats are identified by those QRS's that terminate shorter cycles than the junctional escape cycle; i.e., the 3rd and probably the 4th QRS's are captures; the other QRS's are junctional escapes.Knowledge Weavers ECG
3 2nd degree AV block, mobitz type II, with LBBBThe wide QRS complexes in lead V1 indicates LBBB. 2nd degree AV block, Mobitz II is suggested by the two fixed PR intervals prior to the nonconducted P wave. The location of the block is most likely in the right bundle, because Mobitz II is usually a sign of bilateral bundle branch disease.Knowledge Weavers ECG
4 2nd degree AV block, type IThe 3 rules of classic AV Wenckebach are: 1. decreasing RR intervals until pause; 2. the pause is less than preceding 2 RR intervals; and 3. the RR interval after the pause is greater than the RR interval just prior to pause. Unfortunately, there are many examples of atypical forms of Wenckebach wh...Wenckebach AV BlockKnowledge Weavers ECG

6 2nd degree AV block, type I with escapes and capturesOften in the setting of 2nd degree AV block the pauses caused by nonconducted P waves are long enough to enable escape pacemakers from the junction or ventricles to take over. This example illustrates junctional escapes, labled E and captures, labled C. Note that the PR intervals for the captures ...Knowledge Weavers ECG
7 2nd degree AV block, type I, with accelerated junctional escapes and a ladder diagramThe ladder diagram illustrates a Wenckebach type AV block by the increasing PR intervals before the blocked P wave. After the blocked P wave, however, a rev-ed up junctional pacemaker terminates the pause. Note that the junctional beats have a slightly different QRS morphology from the sinus beats...Knowledge Weavers ECG
8 2nd degree AV block, type I, with junctional escapesJunctional escapes are passive, protective events whenever the heart rate slows below that of the escape mechanism. In this example of 2nd degree AV block, type I, the escapes occur following the non-conducted P waves. Arrows indicate the position of the P waves. Note that the escape beats have a...Knowledge Weavers ECG
9 3rd degree AV block rx'ed with a ventricular pacemakerIn A the ECG shows complete or 3rd degree AV block with a left ventricular escape rhythm, as evidenced by the upright QRS morphology. In B the artificial right ventricular pacemaker rhythm is shown.Knowledge Weavers ECG

11 A nonconducted PAC causes an unexpected pauseUnexpected pauses in rhythm have several causes, the most frequent being a nonconducted PAC. In this example the nonconducted PAC is seen in the ST segment of the pause. Note the change in the ST-T compared to the other ST-T waves.Knowledge Weavers ECG
12 A PAC initiates paroxysmal atrial fibrillationThe arrow indicates slight alteration of the ST-T wave by a PAC. The PAC, in turn, falls during the vulnerable period of atrial repolarization and initiates atrial fibrillation. Similar but more catastrophic events happen in the ventricles when PVC's occur during the vulnerable period, i.e. R-on-T...Knowledge Weavers ECG
13 A very subtle 1st degree AV blockWhere are the P waves??? They are hiding in the T waves as indicated by the arrows. How do we know? The PVC unmasked the sinus P wave, and now it is seen in the pause following the PVC. The PR interval is, therefore, about 500 ms.Knowledge Weavers ECG
14 A very subtle atrial tachycardia with 2:1 blockAlthough at first glance this looks like normal sinus rhythm at 95 bpm. On closer look, there are 2 P waves for every QRS; the atrial rate is 190 bpm. Note the hidden P in the T waves. This rhythm is likely due to digitalis intoxication, as are the GI symptoms.Knowledge Weavers ECG

18 Accelerated ventricular rhythm with retrograde atrial capture and echo beatsRetrograde atrial captures from an accelerated ventricular focus are occurring with increasing R-P intervals, When the longer R-P occurs, the impulse traversing the AV junction finds a route back to the ventricles, and the result is a ventricular echo.Knowledge Weavers ECG

24 An interpolated PACAlthough most PACs reset the sinus node producing an incomplete compensatory pause, this PAC, indicated by the black arrow, is interpolated, i.e., sandwiched between two sinus beats. Note that the subsequent sinus P wave conducts with prolonged PR interval due to the relative refractoriness of the...Knowledge Weavers ECG
