Overview

Third-degree or complete atrioventricular block suggests no conduction at all from atria to ventricles and may be paroxysmal or persistent and is usually associated with either a junctional or ventricular escape rhythm. Complete atrioventricular block may be identified in the setting of atrial fibrillation when the ventricular response is slow (<50 bpm) and regular. However, junctional rhythm in the setting of atrioventricular block may be present.

Term Classification Definition
Atrioventricular block First-degree atrioventricular block
Second- degree atrioventricular block
  • P waves with a constant rate (<100 bpm)
  • Presence of periodic single non conducted P wave associated with P waves before and after the non conducted P wave with inconstant PR intervals
  • Presence of P waves with a constant rate (< 100 bpm) with a periodic single non conducted P wave associated with other P waves before and after the non conducted P wave with constant PR intervals (excluding 2:1 atrioventricular block)
Third-degree atrioventricular block (complete heart block)
