Type II Second-Degree AV Block (Mobitz Type II Block)

Shown below is an electrocardiogram of a 3 channel recording with a 2:1 AV block in a 73 year old woman with dizziness. 2 to 1 AV block (every other P wave is conducted to the ventricles) 2 to 1 AV block starts after the 5th QRS in this 3 channel recording. The first non-conducted P wave is indicated with an arrow. Note the long PR interval of conducted P waves is constant and the left bundle branch block 2 to 1 AV block cannot be classified into Mobitz type I or II as we do not know if the 2nd P wave would be conducted with the same or longer PR interval.

Shown below is an example of EKG showing two strips from the same patient with a 2:1 block on the top tracing and a Mobitz II A/V block on the lower one. Note that with 2:1 block you cannot tell if this is a Mobitz I or II. Mobitz II is seen below as the PR does not change before and after the non-conducted P wave.
