Overview
CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of cardiac and chest abnormalities related to the underlying organic disease in those with third-degree AV block.
CT scan
- CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of cardiac and chest abnormalities related to the underlying organic disease in those with third-degree AV block.
- Findings on CT scan depends on the underlying cardiac condition causing third-degree AV block.
- According to one study, almost 33 % of patients with second or third-degree AV block had organic cardiac disease or chest abnormality that can be detected with combination of CT and TEE.[1]
