This rhythm strip shows type II second degree A-V block. The characteristic features demonstrated here include regular sinus
P waves At least one or more of the sinus
P waves do not conduct to the ventricle and, therefore, are not followed by a QRS complex. The
PR intervals in conducted beats is constant. Type II block is often associated with extensive myocardial damage that results in widening of the
QRS and has a more serious prognosis than type I block. Type II block is more likely seen in anterior wall myocardial infarction.
