The R-R intervals will vary unlike in true 3rd degree AV block (complete heart block) where they are regular. There is no definite Wenkebach periodicity seen in high grade AV block.

Heart failure patients with a condition called "heart block" derive significant benefit from cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), according to the results of the Block HF clinical trial, presented ...
