Synopsis:

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.

ABSTRACT

Objective: In children, 2:1 atrioventricular block (AVB) with Wenckebach mechanism is a rare entity.

Methods: In seven children, 2:1 AVB with Wenckebach mechanism was detected. The clinical features of these children were retrospectively evaluated.
