A Heart block Poem to remember AV blocks that you may find useful :) if the R is far from P, then you have a First Degree. Longer, longer, longer, drop! Then you have a Wenkeback. If some P's just don't get through, then you have a Mobitz II. if P's and Q's just don't agree, then you have a Third Degree.
Thank u, and *PR interval* a.first degree- constant, prolonged b.wencke - keeps on prolonging until a dropped QRS c.mobitz ii - constant, normal or prolonged & periodically dropped QRS
I already thanked "Pima Paramedics" for their video so I can't leave you out. Thanks so much for th video. I was able to figure out AV blocks in about 15 minutes because of your efforts. I'm training to be a paramedic in Ontario and it's definitely not a walk in the park. Your assistance is very much appreciated:)
Simply said! Your lecture/presentation was fantastic and marvelous! Very clear! Just like on that lung sounds lecture, this one was so clear and easy to understand. For all this time, I was so confused about the differences between those Heart blocks no matter how often I studied, but now I got it!! you're an amazing teacher!!!
PR constant and then a drop beat... perhaps there are two types of type 2 2nd degree AV nodal blocks, ie, PR prolonged and constant and or PR constant and not prolonged...
Thank you so much for this. Simple and easy to understand. Hope my memory stands by my side and I don't look like I just had a stroke when someone puts an ECG in front of me.
I always remember this by saying “longer longer longer drop... then you have a wenkebach.” Similar to what he said but flows a little easier to me. Hope this helps someone!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Only me and the God knows what struggles I had to go through when the consultant asked me to interpret an ECG! I wish I found ya channel earlier
Can't say thank you enough!Showing the constant intervals in 3rd degree helped. Was taught incorrectly that if the P wave "marched through" it was 2nd II.
dirty medicine , your videos are the best. i cannot thank you enough. i don't comment on you tube channels. but ever since i found your channel, i have watched various systems and i can say you make every concept so easy. God bless you . i just could not resist commenting today.
Thank you for this. Having just competed this part of my NP studies, I found this video really useful and helpful in consolidating my understanding and learning. Makes much more sense now.
A few more points for quickly identifying AV blocks on exam and in practice: 1st degree AV blocks are usually asymptomatic 2nd degree AV blocks always have an irregular QRS rate, 1st does not without premature beats, 3rd is always regular Wenkeback -> the QRS is "walking back" from the p wave Mobitz II does not require PR prolongation 3rd degree AV blocks are usually bradycardic (40-60 for junctional, 20-40 for ventricular) My algorithm: Check rate Check regularity Check p waves
1st degree AV “Block” isn’t actually an actual block. It is more of a delay in the conduction. As can be seen, that is why QRS complexes are still present because the impulses can still pass through the AV node and into the His-Purkinje System but with a prolonged PQ or PR interval because of that delay in conduction :)
In my whole period of medical field simply ur this short video first time cleared my concept of AV block.. Hats off u for ur excellent work to made this video. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for explaining heart blocks. I do my psychomotor skills for NR paramedic and I always get 2nd degree type 1 and type 2 heart blocks confused. Thank you!
Excellent explanation. As former educator myself, I appreciate your simple yet thorough explanations. You make it easy to understand. The AHA could take some lessons from you! Great job!
Your videos are great and have been helping me a lot, but I wanted to point out that in the EKG video, when you are talking about QRS prolongation, your arrows are actually pointing to the T waves instead of the QRS complexes. No hate, just trying to help!
Another way for Wenkebach is " Every time she *Winks* my heart drops a beat"
Thank you for this😩
Mad😂
This is going to be “He” for me😌
Thank you

Thank u, and
*PR interval*
a.first degree- constant, prolonged
b.wencke - keeps on prolonging until
a dropped QRS
c.mobitz ii - constant, normal or prolonged & periodically dropped QRS
this is awesome thank you!
THANK YOU!!!!!!! I always have so much confusion between differentiating the heart blocks. This is the best explanation I've heard yet.
Thank you👏
Totally agreed 🤗
4 years later still can relate
Best explanation!
You explain everything so well, thank you for taking the time and effort to teach for free on youtube. I'll definitely donate!
My instructor explained this to me for 30 minutes and still I didn’t get it. I watched this 9 minute video and now I get it lol.
Most instructors over explain the simplest things. It’s called job security
Woah this is the simplest way to remember! It only took me 5 years to find you to explain this to me lol!

Hands down the best video I’ve seen on AV blocks. I shared this video with my entire First Aid Squad and they all love it too. Thank you so much!
Errata: Mobitz II is a regular PR-interval followed by a dropped beat
Thanks for correcting this.just about watched this right now and was like WTF
Regular PR is progressive and beat drop
Please pin this to the top of the comments so everyone who watches the video sees it. But great video, very helpful. Thank you!
PR constant and then a drop beat... perhaps there are two types of type 2 2nd degree AV nodal blocks, ie, PR prolonged and constant and or PR constant and not prolonged...
Excelent work, this is definetely the best explanation of a-v blocks I´ve ever heard
I am fifth year and this is the first time I comprehend ECG!! really thank you for awesome explanation.
Thank you so much for this. Simple and easy to understand. Hope my memory stands by my side and I don't look like I just had a stroke when someone puts an ECG in front of me.
look who is studying along with u !
lol..mi too
i just fake a seizure. pro tip
Ayaz Arif hahaha! Same 😒😔
I have an ecg cn sm1 pls hlp...m vry tensed
I always remember this by saying “longer longer longer drop... then you have a wenkebach.” Similar to what he said but flows a little easier to me. Hope this helps someone!
"Yo man, I'm about to drop a beat. Check out my new EKG! That's Wenkebach."
Out now on Soundcloud
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Only me and the God knows what struggles I had to go through when the consultant asked me to interpret an ECG! I wish I found ya channel earlier
Oh and is it only me who jumped up from the seat when that sound came up 6:13 ???
sorry no idea what that sound is or how it made it into the video lol!
This is the best and simplest explanation I ever heard. Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it because it’s so easy to understand.
LOLLLLLLLLL "I'm about to drop a beat, check out my EKG" barrrs
Thank you! I always need to read up on this the day before ACLS, and this video made it simpler than any book I've seen!
Can't say thank you enough!Showing the constant intervals in 3rd degree helped. Was taught incorrectly that if the P wave "marched through" it was 2nd II.

This video is awesome, thank you! I get stuck between 2nd degree Mobitz II and 3rd degree, this video helps!
9 min of pure understanding!! Thank you for explaining this soooo well. Answered all my questions as I was thinking about them 😅
Thank you for this. Having just competed this part of my NP studies, I found this video really useful and helpful in consolidating my understanding and learning. Makes much more sense now.
This explanation is out of this world, thanks man.
Thank you!!! Your video has helped a lot!! I was able to pass my test with a 98%!

Thank you so much! I never understood 3rd degree block until you explained it.
Thank you for this! I just never got a clear understanding of Wenkebach and Mobitz 2...until i saw this video.
Good medicine, this was the hardest for me to understand for so long, now very easy. Thank you.

I have a pacemaker due to Bradycardia and Mobitz Type 2. Very interesting video explaining part of my condition. Thank you.
I think this is the best video on heart blocks. Thank you
This is phenomenal!!! Thank you!!!
hands down best summary I've come across
Thank you so much. I wish you all the food in the fridge.
Love it! Doctor you are absolutely fantastic
I am glad you explained it. Thank you soo much
Nizzz video ....and its very helpful for me .....I'm love it ..so enjoy ....
No, you're high yield. From a cath newbie, I thank you. Great resource.
That was a great discussion of AV Blocks. Thank you very much
Thank you. I seem to get it now. Never can figure them out from each other. Clear as crystal
Thanks. Clear, concise, easy to follow and great mnemonic !
Thank you so much for simplifying it to this extent! Love this video!
Wow!!! I like how simple it is explained. Thank you!!
Man I have watched many vides but yours are unique. I can only say thank you so much!
Dude that was simply brilliant. Lemme drop a beat for you..
Thank you.. you've made this much easier to remember...
Wenkebach sounds like walking back, the p is walking back (widening PRI) until it is dropped
Prob the best explanation ive heard
Excellent definition of the 3 Bradyarrythmia's
Dr dirty this is just beautifully explained
God bless u
Helping students like me pass PA school exams. Thank YOU.
Please share with your classmates !
You are the best, Hope you win Nobel prize in education medicine !!!
Thank you for this! You have the best way to explain ever!
Thank u , I was struggling with 3rd degree AV Block and now understood. Thanks again.
Thank you for making these videos!
This is a fantastic video and explanation! Thank you!
1:18 1st degree AV block
2:24 2nd degree AV block
-Wenkeback/Mobitz I

4:58 3rd degree AV block
very helpful and informative vedio
Thank You So much! Best explanation so far on how to memorize and understand the difference.
Incredible video. Can’t thank you enough for these.
Thank you for explaining heart blocks. I do my psychomotor skills for NR paramedic and I always get 2nd degree type 1 and type 2 heart blocks confused. Thank you!
I’m backwards i always get 2nd degree t2 and 3rd confused lol
Thank you. You are the best
Dope video! Where have you been during my entire cardiac career 😂😂
great description of AV blocks
ThankYou so much!!!! Best explanation ever!!!
You new Dock's rock.....Remember, we had no computers like you,,..
Thank you, very clear explanation, got it now
Thanks. This helps me so much to understand in a simple way.
It was easy to understand. Thanks so much for the video.
such a great teacher you are! thank you
👌👌👌👌👌Nice Explaination..very useful & easy to understand
You are the best. Period.
I'm still not seeing or understanding the difference between the two second degree AV blocks they look the same to me
BEST EVER POSTED!!!! SO SIMPLE!!!! THANK YOU

This is phenomenal!
The best explanation ❤
Love ur work. Thx. Deborah in Australia 🇦🇺👏🏼❤️🕊✌🏼💫
Well explain, great video. Getting to understand the AV block and drop beat. much thanks,
Excellent explanation. As former educator myself, I appreciate your simple yet thorough explanations. You make it easy to understand. The AHA could take some lessons from you! Great job!
Very precise explanation! Thanks for your video!
You are a good teacher! very understandable and good voice for teaching!
Gold material, thanks!
Awesome, practical. Helpful
Thank you very much! you made it easy to understand the AV Blocks
Absolutely fantastic...!!
Hi! Can you please make a video with the cardiovascular physiology graphics ? It will be very helpful.
Man this AV blocks scared the Shit out of me. But THANK YOU, you made it as a soup
Thanks a lot for your help! You are very talanted and very clever!
But is there a particular lead we should be looking at to identify the blocks? This was very helpful, thank you.
Amazing explains
TERRIFIC!!!! THANKS👍..... very helpful!!!!
Your videos are great and have been helping me a lot, but I wanted to point out that in the EKG video, when you are talking about QRS prolongation, your arrows are actually pointing to the T waves instead of the QRS complexes. No hate, just trying to help!
omggggg you just made life so much easier I was ready to quit omggg now I feel a lot better for my exam tomorrow omg
