This ECG shows P waves that are not always associated with a QRS complex. This is called "AV dissociation" and occurs in complete heart block (a.k.a. 3rd degree heart block). In this situation, the P ...
A new study has linked prolonged P-wave duration to increased risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD), independent of cardiovascular risk factors and atrial fibrillation. 1 This suggests P-wave duration ...
A first-degree atrioventricular node block occurs when conduction through the AV node is slowed, thereby delaying the time it takes for the action potential to travel from the sinoatrial node through ...
