Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]; Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief: Soroush Seifirad, M.D.[2]
Overview
Third degree AV block must be differentiated from myocardial infarction, Mobitz type II, Junctional rhythm, and sinus bradycardia.
Differentiating third degree AV block from other Diseases
third degree AV block must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 1], [clinical feature 2], and [clinical feature 3], such as [differential dx1], [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].
OR
third degree AV block must be differentiated from [differential dx1], [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].

As third degree AV block manifests in a variety of clinical forms, differentiation must be established in accordance with the particular subtype. [Subtype name 1] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 1], such as [differential dx1] and [differential dx2]. In contrast, [subtype name 2] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 2], such as [differential dx3] and [differential dx4].
Differentiating third degree AV block from other diseases on the basis of [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3]
On the basis [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3], third degree AV block must be differentiated from [disease 1], [disease 2], [disease 3], [disease 4], [disease 5], and [disease 6].

Differentiating Third Degree AV Block from other Diseases
Third degree AV block should be differentiated from the following conditions:
- Myocardial infarction
- Mobitz type II second degree AV block
- Junctional rhythm
- Sinus bradycardia
