The Mobitz type I block is characterized by a progressively increased P-Q interval until atrial activation is blocked in the AV-node. Thereafter conduction is restored and this cycle repeats itself. Usually Mobitz type II block is located at a the atrioventricular node and rarely deteriorates to a more severe conduction block. | The Mobitz type I block is characterized by a progressively increased P-Q interval until atrial activation is blocked in the AV-node.

When atrial activation is blocked, without progressivly increasing P-Q interval a Mobitz Type II AV block is present. This sudden failure of AV conduction is an omen of severe conduction disease in usually infra-Hision part of the atrioventricular conduction system. | |||

Third degree AV block is complete block of conduction between atria en ventricle. Atrial and ventricular rhythm are complete dissociated. | |||
