Bradycardias

no electrical activity -> asystole

P with every QRS -> sinus bradycardias

grouped beats with decreasing R-R -> AV block / 2nd degree / type I (Wenckebach)

dropped beats without decreasing R-R -> AV block / 2nd degree / type II

no relationship between P and QRS -> AV block / 3rd degree
