Daily Question
|
In patients with pauses due to the Wenkebach phenomenon, (2nd degree A-V block, Type 1), is it more common to see groupings of 2 beats followed by a pause, or 3 beats followed by a pause?
|
|
Answer
|
|
Smaller beat groupings are more common. Therefore, 2 beats followed by a pause is seen more commonly than 3 beats followed by a pause. Recurrent grouping of long sets of beats is unusual in the Wenkebach phenomenon.
