==Overview==
[[Second-degree AV nodal block]]  commonly is seen in acute [[clinical]] settings including acute inferior wall [[myocardial infarction]], [[digitalis]] intoxication, [[myocarditis]], [[rheumatic fever]], after [[cardiac]] [[surgery]]. Chronic [[AV nodal block]] is seen in the setting of [[ischemic heart disease]], [[mesothelioma]] of the [[AV node]], [[atrial septal defect]], [[aortic valvular disease]], [[amyloidosis]], [[Reiter's syndrome]], [[mitral valve prolapse]], in [[healthy]] [[populations]], and in [[trained athletes]]. Mobitz II [[second degree Av block]] due to block inferior to the [[AV node]] ([[infra-Hisian]] structures) may progresses to [[complete heart block]]. Common complications associated with mobitz type 2 [[second degree AV block]] include progression to [[complete heart block]], [[syncope]], [[dizziness]], [[chest pain]], and [[death]].
Prognosis is generally good in [[patients]] with chronic [[second-degree AV nodal block]] without organic [[heart]] disease.However, in [[patients]] with [[heart ]] [[disease]] prognosis is poor and dependent on the severity of underlying [[heart]] disease.

Mobitz type I second degree AV block is usually benign and has a good prognosis compared to Mobitz type II. But Mobitz type I in the setting of an acute MI causes a significant rise in mortality.

Overview

Second-degree AV nodal block commonly is seen in acute clinical settings including acute inferior wall myocardial infarction, digitalis intoxication, myocarditis, rheumatic fever, after cardiac surgery. Chronic AV nodal block is seen in the setting of ischemic heart disease, mesothelioma of the AV node, atrial septal defect, aortic valvular disease, amyloidosis, Reiter's syndrome, mitral valve prolapse, in healthy populations, and in trained athletes. Mobitz II second degree Av block due to block inferior to the AV node (infra-Hisian structures) may progresses to complete heart block. Common complications associated with mobitz type 2 second degree AV block include progression to complete heart block, syncope, dizziness, chest pain, and death. Prognosis is generally good in patients with chronic second-degree AV nodal block without organic heart disease.However, in patients with heart disease prognosis is poor and dependent on the severity of underlying heart disease.

Prognosis

Prognosis is generally good in patients with chronic second-degree AV nodal block without organic heart disease. However, in patients with organic heart disease prognosis is poor and dependent on the severity of underlying heart disease.[7]
