2nd Degree AV Block, Type I

Frank Yanowitz Copyright 1996

The 3 rules of "classic AV Wenckebach" are: 1. decreasing RR intervals until pause; 2. the pause is less than preceding 2 RR intervals; and 3. the RR interval after the pause is greater than the RR interval just prior to pause. Unfortunately, there are many examples of atypical forms of Wenckebach where these rules don't hold.
