New video about pathophysiology of sinoatrial exit block.
Sinoatrial exit block occurs as a result of disorder with the delivery of impulses from the sinus node to atria tissue.
The first degree of sinoatrial block is characterized by a prolongation of the sinoatrial conduction time through the T cells without dropping of PQRST.
When the impulse from sinus node reaches the atria tissue on ECG we see it as P wave, but depolarization of sinus node it self can’t be detected by routine ECG examination due to very low amplitude of Sinus node depolarization.
As a result first degree sinoatrial block also can’t be detected by routine ECG.
The second-degree exit block is represented by droping of PQRST also is further classified into type one and type II just like AV block classification.
Second degree of sinoatrial block type one is characterized by wenckebach conduction.
Unlike second degree block type one in type two there are no progressive lengthening of sinoatrial conduction time.
In the Type two SA block we have rapid drop of P-QRS-T complexes without any problem with sinoatrial conduction before the drop and after the drop.
Also we can characterize severity of exit block type two by comparing number of expected sinus impulses and conducted sinus impulses that is indicated as Pwave)
Important to say that Permanent second degree sinoatrial exit block type two with conduction 2 to one can imitate severe sinus bradycardia.
In case of severe sinus bradycardia Pq interval is near to the upper limit but in case of permanent sinoatrial block with conduction two to one Pq interval is relatively shorter.
Third degree SA exit block is characterized by absence of conduction between sinus node and atria tissue.
During the sinus pause latent pacemakers are activated and start to pace the heart.
As a result in case of third degree SA block the sinus pause isn’t equal to multiple distance of previous P-P interval.

This is the best explanation of SA block ever! Thanks a lot.
Thanks a lot, your comment motivates me to make another video)
@@Foxterrier you're welcome : ) BTW, love the dog on every cover of your videos, so adorable
I love it too)
thank you very much! a great video with a great explanation.
thank you) i appreciate it so much)))
nice 🤩
Thanks)
Excellent video
Thanks i appreciate it a lot)
Perfect😻😻😻
Thank you ☺️
❤❤❤
Thanks)
why the p-p interval is shortened although we have a delay? in 2nd degree type I
thanks for your question, this is occurs due to Wenckenbach conduction, the key moment is that we maximal gain usually occurs in the second complexes, further for better understanding open the video in 5:14, conduction throught the T cells in 1 complexes is 1 square, in the 2 complexes is becomes three time bigger - 3 squares (maximal gain from 1 square to 3 square or 300% from previous that prolongs P-P inteval maximally) in 3 complex is 4 square that is gain only 75 % of previous. As a result P-P interval with maximal gain inside is maximal. Near to the pause gain becomes smaller and P-P too. I understood only when i draw it in the paper with squares maybe it can helps you too
@@Foxterrier Thanks so much
You welcome)
Is pause duration is less than the sum of previous 2 PP intervals ??
Yes, in case of 2nd degree type 1 pause duration is less than 2PP,
in case of 2nd degree type 2 pause is equal 2 PP
@@Foxterrier Thank you
U welcome)

I did not watch the rest of the video, but at least for the Second degree type I section, the interval time calculation is incorrect. 12 large boxes should be an interval of 2.4 sec and 11 large boxes should be 2.2 seconds.
Great explanation otherwise.
Thank you for your attention, i used calculation according paper speed 50mm/sec, in this case, 12 large boxes is 1.2 sec
