To solve this case, we need to be suspicious as to why the patient has bradycardia, when they are not on a beta blocker.
The money is in the ECG. This is a MOBITZ II with a 2:1 Block
The problem with Mobitz II blocks like this is that they can deteriorate into a complete heart block.
​The patient had a pacemaker inserted.

In last week's EMQA we spoke about a 2:1 block where the p waves were hidden in the T waves. These are not hidden.
