Abstract
The year 2024 marks the centenary of Mobitz's description of type II second-degree atrioventricular block. Its definition remains valid to this day with only minor modification for the diagnosis of infranodal conduction block. Mobitz a century ago indicated that his type II atrioventricular block was associated with Stock-Adams attacks and a prolonged duration of the QRS complex before the eventual description of bundle branch block.
