Overview
- First-degree atrioventricular block and second-degree Mobitz type I atrioventricular block do not need any treatment. Constant monitoring and avoidance of medications that trigger PR prolongation should be done.
- Second-degree Mobitz type II atrioventricular block and third-degree atrioventricular block put patients at a greater risk of progressing into ventricular tachycardia, asystole, and even death. Because of this, an urgent admission in the hospital is warranted for cardiac monitoring, and pacemaker implantation.
