About Heart Block (Second Degree)
Second-degree heart block is a condition where electrical signals traveling through your heart are partially interrupted, causing some heartbeats to be missed or delayed.

Mobitz Type II, however, is more serious; some electrical signals are blocked entirely and unpredictably, which can lead to a very slow heart rate and potentially progress to a complete heart block.

A pacemaker is a small device implanted under the skin near your collarbone that sends electrical impulses to regulate your heart's rhythm. While a pacemaker addresses the block
