Heart Blocks: Man/Husband P Wave Woman/Wife QRS Complex

The document uses an analogy between types of heart block and stages of marriage to explain different conduction abnormalities. It describes: 1) 1st degree heart block as a husband coming home 1 hour late each week with his wife concerned but rationalizing it. 2) 2nd degree type I (Wenckebach) as the husband coming home later each time until his wife leaves when he is 4 hours late. 3) 2nd degree type II (Mobitz) as the husband realizing his mistake but his wife still sleeping elsewhere despite his pleas. 4) 3rd degree heart block as the marriage ending with the couple living together but having no relationship.

Heart Blocks

Man/Husband = P wave Woman/Wife = QRS Complex

1st Degree AV Block

In the 1st year of marriage, the man goes out with his friends every Friday night and tells his wife he will be home by midnight. He consistently comes home at 01:00 am. He is late, but always exactly 1 hour late. His wife is somewhat concerned, but rationalizes I know he loves me and its only one hour.

2nd Degree Type I (Wenckebach)

In the 2nd year of marriage, the man notices his wife doesnt seem to be to troubled by his tardiness..so much like all men..he pushes his luck. He begins to come home later and later. He comes home at 2:00 am, then 3:00 am, until finally one day he comes home at 04:00am and shes gone. There is a note on the bed that states Ill be back!! (It rhymes with Wenckebach)

2nd Degree Type II (Mobitz)

Still in the second year....again much like all men.after ruining a good thing, he realizes the error in his ways. Now, when he goes out he always comes home at midnight like he promised. Except now it doesnt matter when he comes home because she continues to sleep out every now and again. He knows she has found the attention elsewhereregardless of how much he begs. (Mo-Bitch instead of Mobitz)

3rd Degree AV Block

By the 3rd year of marriage, the man finally realizes the marriage is over. He files for a divorce, but in the meantime she agrees to let him live there until he finds his own place. They are under the same roof, but they come and go as they please. There is no relationship between man and the woman.
