| (Class III (Harm), Level of Evidence C): |
|
❑ Permanent pacing is not recommended in patients with First-degree atrioventricular block or mobitz type 1 second degree atrioventricular block (wenchebache), or 2:1 atrioventricular block when the level of block is in atrioventricular node or symptoms are not related to atrioventricular block |
- Common factors associated placement of permanent pacemaker include:
- Presence or absence of symptoms
- Level of atrioventricular block
- Unstable scaped ventricular rhythm with rapid progression to complete heart block
- First-degree AV block is typically a benign condition that do not progress suddenly to complete heart block.
- Placement of permanent pacemaker is reserved for the condition that symptomatic First-degree AV block affects quality of life.
Pacemaker
Indications
Special situations when placement of permanent pacemakers is indicated in first degree heart block are:
- Hemodynamic compromise
- Pacemaker syndrome (loss of atrioventricular synchrony)
- Some neuromuscular conditions associated with first degree heart block such as
Contraindications
- Asymptomatic first degree heart block
A dual chamber DDD pacemaker is preferred over a single chambered VVI pacemakers as it maintains physiologic AV synchrony. A dual-chamber artificial pacemaker is a type of device that typically listens for a pulse from the SA node and sends a pulse to the AV node at an appropriate interval, essentially completing the connection between the two nodes. Pacemakers in this role are usually programmed to enforce a minimum heart rate.
