Complete the following ECG criteria for second-degree AV block type II:
Rhythm ________________________________________
Rate ________________________________________
P waves ________________________________________
PR interval ________________________________________
QRS duration ________________________________________
Fill in the blanks with correct word
Rhythm Ventricular irregular; atrial regular (i.e., Ps plot through on time).
Rate Atrial rate is greater than the ventricular rate; ventricular rate is often slow.
P waves Normal in size and shape; some P waves are not followed by a QRS complex (i.e., more Ps than QRSs).
PR interval Within normal limits or prolonged but constant for the conducted beats; the PR intervals before and after a blocked P wave are constant.
QRS duration Within normal limits if the block occurs above or within the bundle of His; greater than 0.11 seconds if the block occurs below the bundle of His; complexes are periodically absent after P waves.
