Answers
Second-degree atrioventricular (AV) block, Mobitz type I (AV Wenckebach). Note increasing PR interval and PR interval being the shortest after a dropped beat. Also, note that the patient has intraventricular conduction delay (IVCD) and lateral T wave inversion. Despite IVCD, it is less likely to be trifascicular block as AV Wenckebach is generally a nodal rather than infra-Hisian phenomenon.
