This is the 8th installment of my ECG Video Blog. This 58-minute video covers the Basics of AV Block — including Pearls on ECG diagnosis — clinical relevance — and distinction from AV Dissociation.
-----------------------------------------
NOTE: There are advantages to using a video format format. These include:
- Ability to illustrate concepts not done full justice by the written word.
- Greater dispersion of my content through Google & YouTube. This material is free for anyone to use.

My goal in this 58-minute video series is to review the approach to diagnosing the AV Blocks. This starts with recognizing what AV Block is (and is not) — what conditions may mimic AV Block (ie, blocked PACs) — and how to distinguish Complete AV Block from AV Dissociation. Focus is on the 3 types of 2nd-Degree AV Block (Mobitz I; Mobitz II; 2-to-1 AV Block) — and on how to make a definitive diagnosis of Complete AV Block.
- Below in Figure 1 — a sample of some issues discussed. I believe this video brings the topic to life!
