	eMedicine - Heart Block, Second Degree : Article by Michael D Levine
		The Mobitz II second-degree AV block is characterized by an unexpected nonconducted atrial impulse.
		Mobitz type I block is caused by conduction delay in the AV node in 72% of patients and by conduction delay in the His-Purkinje system in the remaining 28%.
		Mobitz type I second-degree AV block is localized to the AV node, and thus is not associated with any increased risk of morbidity or death, in the absence of organic heart disease.

	eMedicine - Atrioventricular Block, Second Degree : Article Excerpt by: M Silvana Horenstein, MD
		Mobitz I (Wenckebach) block is often most easily diagnosed by comparing the PR interval after the blocked beat with the PR interval preceding the blocked beat.
		When Mobitz I (Wenckebach) block is assessed by means of invasive electrophysiologic study, it is most commonly found to be high in the specialized AV conduction system, usually above the bundle of His in the compact AV node area.
		Mobitz I (Wenckebach) AV block may occur normally in the presence of increased vagal tone, such as in athletes or during sleep.

		Both Mobitz I AV block ("Wenkebach") and Mobitz II AV block are characterized by a P-wave that fails to conduct to the ventricle.
		Mobitz II AV block is the failure of a P wave to conduct without prior variation or prolongation of the PR interval.
		In the absence of underlying significant disease, Mobitz I block localized to the AV node is generally not associated with morbidity or mortality.

		Mobitz I second degree AV block, or Wenckebach block, is characterized by progressive prolongation of the PR interval causing progressive RR interval shortening until a P wave fails to conduct to the ventricle.
		Mobitz II second degree AV block is characterized by sudden unexpected blocked P waves without variation or necessarily even prolongation of the PR interval.
		Mortality/Morbidity: Mobitz I block localized to the AV node is believed by most investigators to have no significant associated morbidity or mortality in the absence of organic heart disease.

	NGC - NGC Summary
		Mobitz II AV block, especially with a wide QRS complex, typically results from disease in the distal (i.e., His-Purkinje) system, and thus if complete block develops, then the escape pacemakers tend to be slow and unreliable.
		Mobitz I (Wenckebach) AV block with a narrow QRS complex is typical of a proximal (i.e., AV nodal) site of block, and thus if complete block develops, then the escape pacemakers are faster and more reliable.
		For patients with Mobitz II advanced second-degree AV block, or complete heart block, ECG monitoring should be continued until the block resolves or until a definitive therapy (usually implantation of a permanent pacemaker) is implemented.

		The term advanced second degree AV block refers to the block of two or more consecutive P waves, but some beats are conducted in contrast to third degree or complete heart block.

	Bradycardia
		Mobitz type I second-degree AV block (Wenckebach block) is diagnosed when the electrocardiogram shows a stable PP interval and a progressive increase in the PR interval until a P wave fails to conduct.
		Mobitz type II second-degree AV block is most often associated with disease of the His-Purkinje system.
		In 2:1 block, a narrow QRS complex and associated periods of Wenckebach block, or simultaneous sinus slowing ("vagotonic block"), suggest that atrioventricular nodal block is present, whereas a wide QRS complex suggests the presence of infranodal block.

	Mobitz' block type I and II (www.whonamedit.com)
		Type I is characterized by a progressive lengthening of the P-R intervals — identical to Wenckebach period/phenomenon.
		The very rare Mobitz type II is characterized by intermittent failure to conduct a P wave through the atrioventricular node to the ventricle, with constant PR interval.
		The form of second degree atrioventricular block now known as Mobitz type II AV block was first discovered by the English physician John Hay (born 1873) in 1905 and by Karel Frederik Wenckebach (1864-1940) in 1906, independently.

		Mobitz type I (otherwise known as: AV Wenckebach block, intranodal or proximal) is characterized by a progressive PR interval prolongation prior to block of an atrial impulse and a normal QRS complex.
		Mobitz type II (otherwise known as: infranodal or distal) is usually in the His-Purkinje system.
		Unlike Mobitz I and II where they are associated with proximal and distal respectively, there is no fixed association with the 2:1 and location of the disordered conduction system.

		Mobitz I (Wenckebach) is a progressive AV block manifested by a sequential increase in the PR interval until a beat is completely blocked (Figure 5-7).
		In the aviation setting, as with first degree AV block, it is usually caused by a high degree of vagal tone in normal, conditioned individuals, for example, 23 percent of trained athletes.
		It may be caused by the same underlying disorders as first degree AV block and Mobitz I, but is much more likely to represent underlying heart disease and is therefore disqualifying for all flying duties.

		There are two different categories of second degree block: Mobitz type I 2nd degree block, also called "Wenckebach phenomenon," and Mobitz type II second degree block.
		So when Mobitz I (the upper conduction system) becomes more severe and prevents any atrial depolarizations from reaching the ventricles (3rd degree block), the part of the heart that takes over and keeps the heart pumping is the next thing normal structure down the conduction line, which is the junctional area.
		However, if Mobitz II (lower conduction system) becomes more severe and prevents any atrial depolarizations from reaching the ventricles, the next distal normal structure to take over pacing is the ventricle itself.
