Overview
Historical perspective
- In 1905, Dr. John Hay discovered the second degree of AV block.[1]
- Dr. Hay was examining a patient who complains of slow pulse and dyspnea on exertion for more than 2 years. Dr. Hay noticed the heart rate dropping from 80 beats to 40 beats per minute.
- Dr. Hay noted the a waves and the arterial pulse to remain stable in the beginning. However, recording pulsation for several times resulted in "a" waves that were not followed by c wave. The a-c jugular wave interval was used as a measurement of AV conduction.
- Dr. Hay figured out that the pause following a wave was due to failure of ventricular muscles to respond to a stimulus.
