Second degree AV block

A second degree AV block means that the AV node is only working intermittently to transmit the impulse through to the ventricles. This causes extra P waves to be present without a QRS complex after them. There are two main types: Mobitz type I (aka Wenckebach) and type II.

What will you do for this altered and bradycardic patient?

This ECG is from a woman in her 60s who presented from a nursing home with altered mental status, hypotension, hypoxia and bradycardia.

This ECG shows an irregular rhythm due to second degree AV block with wide QRS and peaked T waves. The cause was hyperkalemia.

This is a library of 2323 free, open access, re-usable ECGs from across the web.

Where did they come from?

These ECGs were collected from Free Open Access Medical Education (#FOAMed) blogs, with the permission of their authors. You can find out more about each ECG's source by clicking on it.

Why are they here?

This is an experiment in digital curation. The idea is to collect resources to increase awareness and accessibility. Over time, more ECGs in the collection will be tagged to make it easier to find them and reused in new interactive quizzes.

How can I use these ECGs?

You can use these ECGs for your own learning, teaching or research - as long as you abide by the terms of each ECG's copyright licence as stipulated by the original author.
