Third-degree AV block: ECG quiz video

Plays from YouTube when you click. Nothing loads from YouTube before that.

A 25-second clip of the Patient Simulator monitor. The rhythm name is never on the screen: the video asks the question, gives a hint, counts down five seconds and then gives the answer.

Hint

What rhythm is this? Do the P waves and the QRS complexes belong together?

Answer

Third-degree AV block. The P waves and the QRS complexes keep their own rates. Nothing gets through, and a slow escape rhythm takes over.
