•
Finding
Synonyms: AV Block Third Degree; AV Block Third Degree by EKG Finding; Complete AV Block; Complete Heart Block; Third Degree Atrioventricular Block; Third Degree AV Block

Definition

An electrocardiographic finding of complete failure of atrial electrical impulse conduction to the ventricles. This is manifested on the ECG by disassociation of atrial and ventricular rhythms. The atrial rate must be faster than the ventricular rate. (CDISC) [from NCI]
