Overview
- Patients who manifest with some signs and symptoms of atrioventricular block should seek medical consult as soon as possible.
- Evaluation using an electrocardiogram (ECG) is needed to monitor the possibility of having atrioventricular block.
Atrioventricular Block Secondary Prevention
- An electrocardiogram (ECG) is often used to monitor the presence of atrioventricular block.
- Patient education must be rendered to patients who are susceptible to have this medical condition.
- This include:
- Avoidance of medications which are known to induce prolongation of PR interval.
- Continuous education on possible hypoperfusion tendencies which could present as dizziness, fatigue, presyncope, syncope and angina.
- An enhanced inter-professional team care composed of a primary care provider, cardiologist, emergency medicine physician, and a nurse practitioner is needed to cater[1]
