The first documentation of a human atrioventricular (AV) block dates back to 1873, when A.L. Galabin reported a 34-year-old patient using an apexcardiogram. This was followed the same year by Luciani, recording 2nd degree AV blocks while studying frogs. In 1899, Karel F. Wenckebach provided the cardiology field with the criteria of what he called "Luciani periods", what we now know as Wenckebach Periodicity or Mobitz I AV block. The classic electrocardiographic presentation of Mobitz I/Wenckebach periodicity is characterized by progressive prolongation of the PR interval on the electrocardiogram (EKG) on consecutive beats followed by a blocked P wave. This clinical entity is the first and most common of two types of 2nd degree AV block. This manuscript reviews the life of Karel F. Wenckebach and the events that led this great Dutch physician to make one of the most important contributions to the field of cardiology.
人类房室传导阻滞的首次记录可追溯到1873年，当时A.L.加拉宾使用心尖搏动图报告了一名34岁的患者。同年，卢恰尼在研究青蛙时记录到了二度房室传导阻滞。1899年，卡雷尔·F. 温克巴赫为心脏病学领域提供了他所谓的“卢恰尼周期”的标准，即我们现在所知的文氏周期或莫氏I型房室传导阻滞。莫氏I型/文氏周期的经典心电图表现为心电图（EKG）上连续心搏的PR间期逐渐延长，随后出现一个受阻的P波。这种临床情况是二度房室传导阻滞两种类型中的第一种也是最常见的一种。本文回顾了卡雷尔·F. 温克巴赫的生平以及促使这位伟大的荷兰医生对心脏病学领域做出最重要贡献之一的事件。
