In this course we teach you how to identify first-, second- and third-degree atrioventricular (AV) block on the ECG. We explain the pitfalls commonly encountered in the diagnosis of AV block. You will learn the importance of distinguishing between Mobitz type I and Mobitz type II second degree AV block and you will learn how to do so reliably.
