What is the attributing electrocardiographic phenomenon underlying a concomitant 2:1 and Wenckebach atrio-ventricular block?

J Electrocardiol. 2021 Jul-Aug:67:133-135. doi: 10.1016/j.jelectrocard.2021.06.012. Epub 2021 Jul 2.

Abstract

We herein describe the case of a spontaneously observed bidirectional block (both entrance and exit block) at the sino-atrial junction. This bidirectional block at the sino-atrial junction associated with the failure of conduction to the ventricle revealed the Wenckebach periodicity of the atrio-ventricular conduction.

Keywords: Atrio-sinus block; Atrioventricular block; Right bundle branch block; Sinoatrial-node; Sinus impulse.
