Résumé
A number of publications have claimed that Mobitz type II atrioventricular block (AVB) may occur during sleep. None of the reports defined type II AVB and representative electrocardiograms were either misinterpreted or missing. Relatively benign Wenckebach type I AVB is often misdiagnosed as Mobitz type II which is an indication for a pacemaker. Review of the published reports indicates that Mobitz type II AVB does not occur during sleep when it is absent in the awake state. Conclusion: There is no proof that sleep is associated with Mobitz type II AVB.
