Question

Type II second-degree AV block is generally considered more serious than type I because in most cases of type II the: cardiac output is diminished. ventricular rate rises above 100 beats/minute. peripheral vascular system shuts down almost as soon as the arrhythmia begins. atrial rate rises above 100 beats/minute.
