Third-degree AV heart block made easy nursing review for nursing students, nurses, ACLS, and cardiac NCLEX review.

Learn about 3rd-degree heart block causes, treatment, and ECG strip rhythm example.

A third-degree heart block is also called a complete heart block. This type of heart block is considered the worst type of the heart blocks. In our previous videos, we covered first-degree, second-degree type I, and second-degree type II heart blocks.

One of the key characteristics of the third-degree heart block is that the P waves and QRS complexes are not working together as they normally do.

The QRS complexes will be regular, with a regular ventricular rhythm. However, the ventricular rate will be slower due to fewer QRS complexes appearing.

I've experienced this 4 times within 6 years. My heart would stop and I would almost pass out but then an extremely fast heart rate would kick in and I felt 2 heart beats doing 2 different rhythms.
The fast heart rate was incountable.Cardiologists couldn't even tell me what this was other than sustained v tach. I had to research this condition on my own for a proper, exact diagnosis.
Anyway I'm 58 and take 10mgs of propranolol a day. I have mitral valve prolapse. My last episode was January of this year.
I'm won't get a pacemaker because a cardiac arrest is a great way to pain, just lights out and it's over.
