- Mobitz Type 2 second-degree AV block
- AV block or conduction ratio, 2:1
- AV block, varying conduction ratio
- AV block, advanced (high-grade)

[edit] Intraventricular Conduction
- Left bundle branch block (fixed or intermittent)
- Right bundle branch block (fixed or intermittent, complete or incomplete)
- Intraventricular conduction delay, nonspecific
- Aberrant conduction of supraventricular beats
- Left anterior fascicular block

[edit] Chamber Hypertrophy and Enlargment
- Left atrial enlargement, abnormality, or conduction defect
- Right atrial abnormality
