Av Blocks Copy Rebel Em Emergency Medicine Blog Commonly results from exit block. exit block: failure of an adequate stimulus to depolarize the chamber. endocardium in contact with pacing lead requires higher stimulation threshold for conduction; exit block results from changes in cardiac tissue over time (i.e. an rv infarction, progressive cardiomyopathy) ekg findings. An inferior wall myocardial infarction may precipitate av block [4]. the finding of mobitz type i in a patient with an inferior mi is associated with increased mortality, presumably due to larger infarct size. when av block is due to acute mi, restoring perfusion frequently improves the av block [5]. 1 st degree av block. for the most part, 1 st degree av block with a prolonged pr interval is benign. however, if the patient presents with an acute cardiac related symptom and the 1 st degree av block is new, it may not be benign. pearl: lyme carditis can present with new, long 1 st degree av block and may degenerate into complete heart block. When the block is below the av node (mobitz ii and complete heart block), a ventricular escape rhythm produces a wide qrs complex with rates that are much slower (20 40 bpm) [2]. qrs complex duration and rate of ventricular conduction are not perfect clues because up to to one fourth of cases with mobitz ii may produce a junctional rhythm with.
