The electrical signals that control the heartbeat are slowed as they pass through the AV node in first-degree atrioventricular (AV) block. The condition known as second-degree AV block occurs when some of the electrical signals that control the heartbeat are inhibited as they pass through the AV node. Mobitz type I (Wenckebach) and Mobitz type II are the two varieties of second-degree AV block. The electrical signals in Mobitz type I are progressively delayed until one signal is entirely blocked. Some electrical signals in Mobitz type II are stopped without warning.
