second degree atrioventricular block

second degree atrioventricular block
a second degree heart block due to partial impairment of impulse conduction through the atrioventricular junctional tissue; impulses intermittently fail to reach the ventricles (dropped beats). It occurs as two types: type I is Wenckebach or Mobitz type I block and type II is Mobitz type II block.
