Mobitz' block type I and II
Also known as:
Wenckebach's phenomenon (Mobitz I)
Associated persons:
Woldemar Mobitz
Karel Frederik Wenckebach
Description:
Atrioventricular block of second degree. Mobitz distinguished two types of second degree AV-block. 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.
