- First-degree AV block occurs when the electrical current from the atria to the ventricles is slowed down, causing a slow heart rate but no missed beats. It is usually mild and temporary with no symptoms.
- Second-degree AV block (Mobitz type I) has a normal rhythm with some increasing delays of the electrical current which causes missed heart beats at times. This is sometimes temporary and does not progress to a more serious condition.
- Second-degree AV block (Mobitz type II) is a normal heart rhythm with constant delays of electrical current, which causes occasional missed heartbeats but is more dangerous than type I because it often progresses to third-degree AV block.
- Third-degree AV block is a complete blockage of the electrical current, making the heartbeat slower than normal, causing possible heart attack and death.
