Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Electrophysiology
  • Medical Devices

Context:

  • Atrioventricular block (AVB) is a condition affecting the heart's electrical signaling.
  • Second-degree and third-degree AVB can lead to significant bradycardia and syncope.
  • Pacemaker implantation is a common intervention for symptomatic AVB.

Purpose:

  • To report personal experiences with pacemaker use in patients diagnosed with second-degree and third-degree atrioventricular block.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of pacemaker therapy in both symptomatic and asymptomatic AVB patients.

Summary:

  • This report details the clinical experience of utilizing pacemakers in patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic second-degree and third-degree atrioventricular block.
  • Findings highlight the role of pacemakers in managing diverse presentations of AVB, ensuring adequate heart rate and conduction.
