Overview
There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for third degree AV block. However, screening for congenital AV block is recommended.
Screening
Screening
- Ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring is useful for finding intermittent atrioventricular block, LBBB and bifascicular block in asymptomatic patients.
- In patients with symptomatic atrioventricular block or bradycardia during sleep, screening about sleep apnea is recommended.[1]
| Recommendations for screening sleep apnea in patients with bradycardia or conduction disorder |
| (Class I, Level of Evidence B): |
|
❑ Screening about sleep apnea syndrome is recommended In patients with documented or suspected bradycardia or conduction disorder during sleep |
| (Class IIa, Level of Evidence B): |
|
❑ In patients with previously PPM implantation for bradycardia or conduction disorder, screening about sleep apnea syndrome is reasonable |
| The above table adopted from 2018 AHA/ACC/HRS Guideline[2] |
|---|
- There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for third degree AV block. However, screening for congenital AV block is recommended.
- Recommendations include echocardiogram for newborns of pregnant women with SSA autoantiboides.
- Timing for screening:[3]
- Women with history of neonatal lupus, fetal echos are recommended weekly then repeating the echos every 3 or 4 weeks.
- Women with prior infant with lupus, echos are performed at the 16 weeks of gestation or 18 weeks.
- Fetal echos can be stopped by the 23 weeks of gestation.
