The His-Purkinje system is yet another location where AV block may occur. First-degree AV block and second-degree Mobitz I AV block usually involve a delay at the level of the AVN, whereas second-degree Mobitz II AV block generally involves blockage in the His bundle or lower regions of the conduction system.n follow-up of the cohort through 2007, individuals with first-degree AV block had a 2-fold adjusted risk of atrial fibrillation, a 3-fold adjusted risk of pacemaker implantation, and a 1.4-fold adjusted risk of all-cause mortality.
