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.

Another way for Wenkebach is " Every time she *Winks* my heart drops a beat"

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.

I just found this channel and you just changed my literal life. Eternal Thank you's from Australia

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!

You explain everything so well, thank you for taking the time and effort to teach for free on youtube. I'll definitely donate!

Woah this is the simplest way to remember! It only took me 5 years to find you to explain this to me lol!

THANK YOU!!!!!!! I always have so much confusion between differentiating the heart blocks. This is the best explanation I've heard yet.

Excelent work, this is definetely the best explanation of a-v blocks I´ve ever heard

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!!!

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.

I am fifth year and this is the first time I comprehend ECG!! really thank you for awesome explanation.

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:)

Thanks. Clear, concise, easy to follow and great mnemonic !

Thank you so much! I never understood 3rd degree block until you explained it.

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.

This video is awesome, thank you! I get stuck between 2nd degree Mobitz II and 3rd degree, this video helps!

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. I seem to get it now. Never can figure them out from each other. Clear as crystal

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!

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

Thank you so much for simplifying it to this extent! Love this video!

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.

I have a pacemaker due to Bradycardia and Mobitz Type 2. Very interesting video explaining part of my condition. Thank you.

9 min of pure understanding!! Thank you for explaining this soooo well. Answered all my questions as I was thinking about them 😅

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.

That was a great discussion of AV Blocks. Thank you very much

Thank You So much! Best explanation so far on how to memorize and understand the difference.

This is explained extremely clearly! Thank you!

Love it! Doctor you are absolutely fantastic

hands down best summary I've come across

Thank you for this! I just never got a clear understanding of Wenkebach and Mobitz 2...until i saw this video.

I am glad you explained it. Thank you soo much

Thank you.. you've made this much easier to remember...

Errata: Mobitz II is a regular PR-interval followed by a dropped beat

Man I have watched many vides but yours are unique. I can only say thank you so much!

Great explanation! Short & concise.

Thanks. This helps me so much to understand in a simple way.

Thanks a lot for your help! You are very talanted and very clever!

Thank you very much! you made it easy to understand the AV Blocks

I failed out of medic school glad I found these videos

perfect!! thanks for always being awesome!!

Absolutely fantastic...!!

Gold material, thanks!

It was easy to understand. Thanks so much for the video.

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 :)

ThankYou so much!!!! Best explanation ever!!!

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!

Amazing explanation.Thanks

very helpful and informative vedio

Hi! Can you please make a video with the cardiovascular physiology graphics ? It will be very helpful.

Helping students like me pass PA school exams. Thank YOU.

But is there a particular lead we should be looking at to identify the blocks? This was very helpful, thank you.

So well explained I actually understand! Thank you
