First degree AV block does not generally cause any symptoms, but may progress to more severe forms of heart block such as second- and third-degree atrioventricular block. It is diagnosed using an electrocardiogram , and is defined as a PR interval greater than 200 milliseconds. [ 1 ]
First-degree AV block and Mobitz I second-degree block are often thought to be just normal, benign, conditions in people, and do not often result from a severe underlying condition. [1] Mobitz II second-degree block and third-degree AV block are not normal variants and are associated with an underlying condition. [9]
There are three basic types of AV nodal block: First-degree AV block; Second-degree AV block. Type 1 second-degree AV block (Mobitz I), also known as a Wenckebach block [5] Type 2 second-degree AV block (Mobitz II), also known as a Hay block – due to a block in or below the bundle of His [5] Third-degree AV block (complete heart block)
The International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD) is a detailed hierarchical classification of all headache-related disorders published by the International Headache Society. [1] It is considered the official classification of headaches by the World Health Organization , and, in 1992, was incorporated into the 10th edition of their ...
First-degree AV block is when the signal is delayed, but still makes it to the ventricles. This type has a PR interval greater than 200 milliseconds. Even though these signals are delayed, in first degree block, they still reach the ventricles. First degree block isn’t usually associated with any symptoms.

Complete heart block could be the cause of syncope that is otherwise unexplained if bifascicular block is seen on electrocardiography. [1] It is estimated that less than 50% of patients with bifascicular block have high-degree atrioventricular block, although the exact incidence is unknown. [2]
A sinoatrial block (also spelled sinuatrial block) [1] is a disorder in the normal rhythm of the heart, known as a heart block, that is initiated in the sinoatrial node.The initial action impulse in a heart is usually formed in the sinoatrial node (SA node) and carried through the atria, down the internodal atrial pathways to the atrioventricular node (AV) node.
