Abstract
The duration of the PR intervals in atypical Wenckebach atrioventricular block before and after a non-conducted P wave can exhibit a wide range of values and patterns. Understanding the different or at times puzzling manifestations of Wenckebach atrioventricular block in terms of its PR intervals can avoid diagnostic errors, especially the erroneous more serious diagnosis of Mobitz type II atrioventricular block.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Electrocardiology is devoted exclusively to clinical and experimental studies of the electrical activities of the heart. It seeks to contribute significantly to the accuracy of diagnosis and prognosis and the effective treatment, prevention, or delay of heart disease. Editorial contents include electrocardiography, vectorcardiography, arrhythmias, membrane action potential, cardiac pacing, monitoring defibrillation, instrumentation, drug effects, and computer applications.
