Overview
Electrocardiography (ECG) is employed to determine the type of second-degree atrioventricular (AV) block present. Follow-up ECGs and cardiac monitoring are appropriate. Routine imaging studies are not required. However, if myocarditis is a concern, echocardiography may be indicated. If myocardial ischemia is a concern, a chest radiograph may be indicated.
Diagnostic Study of Choice
Study of choice
- Electrocardiography (ECG) is employed to determine the type of second-degree atrioventricular (AV) block present[1][2].
- Follow-up ECGs and cardiac monitoring are appropriate.
- Routine imaging studies are not required. However, if myocarditis is a concern, echocardiography may be indicated.
- If myocardial ischemia is a concern, a chest radiograph may be indicated.
Name of Diagnostic Criteria
- There are no established criteria for the diagnosis of AV block.
