First vs Second Degree Heart Block - EKG Rhythm Interpretation
In first degree AV heart blocks, there is a delay in the conduction of action potentials from atria to ventricles, but every P-wave is followed by a QRS complex. In second-degree heart blocks, there are some action potentials that fail to conduct from atria to ventricles resulting in a "dropped" QRS complex.
