Symptoms

Most people with Wenckebach (Type I Mobitz) do not show symptoms. But if the sinus rate is slow and only few beats are conducted (higher grade blocks) there may be a significantly reduced cardiac output. Usual symptoms in such patients include:

• Light-headedness
• Dizziness
• Fainting
• Fatigue
• Heart failure symptoms
• Pre-syncope
• Syncope
