    Sinus node dysfunction and AV block cause most pacemaker implants. Critical care nurses must recognize symptoms like syncope and heart failure to treat bradycardia effectively.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Critical Care Nursing

    Background:

    • Sinus node dysfunction and atrioventricular (AV) block are primary indications for permanent pacemaker implantation.
    • These conditions often lead to bradycardia, a slow heart rhythm.

    Observation:

    • Patients may experience severe symptoms including syncope and acute heart failure.
    • Such patients require admission to critical care or telemetry units for close monitoring and management.

    Findings:

    • Understanding the clinical manifestations of sinus node dysfunction and AV block is crucial.
    • Prompt recognition and intervention for symptomatic arrhythmias are essential.

    Implications:

    • Critical care nurses play a vital role in managing patients with these cardiac conditions.
