Our results suggest that the clues indicating a Wenckebach mechanism in children with 2:1 atrioventricular block (2:1 AVB) can be obtained by noninvasive techniques. In children with sustained 2:1 AVB intracardiac electrophysiological study can help in the differentiation, and the prognosis seems good.

Obesity and overweight have adverse effects on renal grafts after renal transplantation. This paper investigates the effects of overweight and obesity in relation to markers of chronic graft dysfunction (ie, dyslipidemia, high blood pressure, and proteinuria), and studies their impact on the quality of life of kidney graft recipients in the first year after transplantation in 1500 patients.
