Can Mobitz Type II Heart Block be Cured?
Sometimes
Pacemaker implantation can effectively manage the heart block; outcomes depend on the individual response to treatment and the presence of underlying heart conditions
What is Mobitz Type II Heart Block?
Mobitz Type II heart block is a type of heart rhythm disorder where electrical signals between the atria and ventricles are intermittently blocked. It may lead to bradycardia. Treatment may involve a pacemaker to regulate the heart’s rhythm. Close monitoring and medical intervention are important to prevent complications.

Electrocardiogram, sometimes additional tests
Prognosis
Generally good with pacemaker placement and monitoring
Complications
Complete heart block, complications of untreated heart block
Etiology and Treatment
Causes
Conduction system abnormalities, heart attack, aging, certain medications
