Sinoatrial Exit Block
• Sinus node still firing• Impulse fails to conduct beyond SA node• Degrees– First degree SA exit block– Second degree SA exit block (Type 1 and type 2)– Third degree SA exit block
![Page 9: ECG Lecture: Sinus arrest, sinoatrial exit block, AV block and escape rhythms](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081420/55625c4dd8b42a14048b4644/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
First degree sinoatrial block
• First degree– Delay in conduction of sinus impulse– Not evident in a surface ECG
![Page 10: ECG Lecture: Sinus arrest, sinoatrial exit block, AV block and escape rhythms](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081420/55625c4dd8b42a14048b4644/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Second degree sinoatrial block
• Intermittent failure of the sinus impulse to exit the node
• Type 1– Progressive delay in sinus impulse resulting in
non-conducted impulse– Group beating (Wenckebach periodicity)
![Page 11: ECG Lecture: Sinus arrest, sinoatrial exit block, AV block and escape rhythms](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081420/55625c4dd8b42a14048b4644/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Second degree sinoatrial block type 1
![Page 12: ECG Lecture: Sinus arrest, sinoatrial exit block, AV block and escape rhythms](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081420/55625c4dd8b42a14048b4644/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Second-degree sinoatrial block
• Type 2– Failed conduction of sinus impulse without
progressive prolongation of sinoatrial conduction time
– Pause is a multiple of baseline P-P interval
![Page 13: ECG Lecture: Sinus arrest, sinoatrial exit block, AV block and escape rhythms](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081420/55625c4dd8b42a14048b4644/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Third-degree sinoatrial block
• None of the sinus node impulses are able to exit the node
• Absence of p waves• Indistinguishable from sinus arrest
![Page 15: ECG Lecture: Sinus arrest, sinoatrial exit block, AV block and escape rhythms](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081420/55625c4dd8b42a14048b4644/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Sinus Pause / Sinus Arrest
• Sinus node doesn’t fire• P-P interval of the pause not a multiple of the
baseline P-P interval• Usually said to be abnormal if > 3 seconds
![Page 16: ECG Lecture: Sinus arrest, sinoatrial exit block, AV block and escape rhythms](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081420/55625c4dd8b42a14048b4644/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

First degree AV block
• PR interval is > 200 ms and is constant• Each p wave is followed by QRS complex• Marked first degree is >300 ms• May be symptomatic
![Page 19: ECG Lecture: Sinus arrest, sinoatrial exit block, AV block and escape rhythms](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081420/55625c4dd8b42a14048b4644/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Second Degree AV Block
• One non-conducted p wave• Mobitz Type 1 (Wenckebach Block)• Mobitz Type 2• 2:1 AV block
![Page 21: ECG Lecture: Sinus arrest, sinoatrial exit block, AV block and escape rhythms](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081420/55625c4dd8b42a14048b4644/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Mobitz Type 1 (Wenckebach)
• Gradual prolongation of PR interval until non-conducted p wave
• RP-PR reciprocity• Lengthening of the PR interval at progressively
shorter decrements• Progressively shorter R-R intervals and group beating• Shortening back to baseline PR interval after the
blocked cycle

Mobitz Type 2
• No change in PR before non-conducted P wave
• Usually associated with His-Purkinje disease
![Page 25: ECG Lecture: Sinus arrest, sinoatrial exit block, AV block and escape rhythms](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081420/55625c4dd8b42a14048b4644/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

2:1 AV block
• Second degree AV block• Every other beat is conducted• PR interval in conducted beats is usually
constant
![Page 29: ECG Lecture: Sinus arrest, sinoatrial exit block, AV block and escape rhythms](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081420/55625c4dd8b42a14048b4644/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
2:1 AV block
• Classifying into Mobitz Type 1 or type 2 is discouraged
• Clues to level of block– Narrow vs wide complex– Long or short PRs in conducted beats– PR and RP relationship– Presence of Mobitz Type 1 block– Response to Atropine or exercise
![Page 30: ECG Lecture: Sinus arrest, sinoatrial exit block, AV block and escape rhythms](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081420/55625c4dd8b42a14048b4644/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
2:1 AV block
![Page 31: ECG Lecture: Sinus arrest, sinoatrial exit block, AV block and escape rhythms](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081420/55625c4dd8b42a14048b4644/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

High Grade AV Block
• At least 2 consecutive non-conducted P waves (3:1 AV Block)
• Also called “advanced second-degree heart block”
• Look at the PR interval of conducted beats: should be constant
![Page 33: ECG Lecture: Sinus arrest, sinoatrial exit block, AV block and escape rhythms](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081420/55625c4dd8b42a14048b4644/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
4:1 AV block
![Page 34: ECG Lecture: Sinus arrest, sinoatrial exit block, AV block and escape rhythms](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081420/55625c4dd8b42a14048b4644/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
3rd Degree or Complete Heart Block
• None of the P waves are conducted• P waves and QRS complexes occur
independently of each other• R-R intervals are usually regular (junctional or
ventricular escape rhythm)
![Page 35: ECG Lecture: Sinus arrest, sinoatrial exit block, AV block and escape rhythms](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081420/55625c4dd8b42a14048b4644/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

• R-R intervals are usually regular (escape rhythm)
• “PR” intervals are not constant / no pattern• Escape rhythm can be junctional or ventricular
![Page 38: ECG Lecture: Sinus arrest, sinoatrial exit block, AV block and escape rhythms](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081420/55625c4dd8b42a14048b4644/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Escape Rhythms
• Atrial escape rhythm (<60 bpm)– P wave morphology abnormal
• Junctional rhythm (40 to 60 bpm)– Narrow QRS– Retrograde P waves shortly before or after QRS, if
any
• Ventricular rhythm (<40 bpm)– Wide, “bizarre” QRS complexes
