A member asked:
Hello: what is the different between typical wenckebach and atypical wenckebach? is one more or less dangerous/ serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wenkebach: Am not aware of your terms. There are two forms. Type 1 can occur in normal individuals by certain drugs or heightened vagal tone. Prognosis is usually quite good. Type 2 is almost always due to organic disease involving the conduction system and may lead to complete heart block. A pacemaker may be required.
