# In [[Sino-atrial_exit_block|SA block]] it is more difficult to appreciate the conduction delay as SA conduction is not presented on a surface ECG. SA block is seen as sudden duplication of the P-P interval, as is the case in 2:1 block, or more difficultly seen as progressive shortening of the P-P interval with a pause thereafter, in case of SA - Wenckebach block. (Definition of a Wenckebach block : decline in progression of the incremental delay). | # In [[Sino-atrial_exit_block|SA block]] it is more difficult to appreciate the conduction delay as SA conduction is not presented on a surface ECG.
