Overview
A 12-lead Electrocardiography (ECG) is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of third degree AV block. Nevertheless, it might be normal in patients with transient AV block. A Holter monitoring and/or telemetry must be performed when the patient presents with sign and symptoms which raising concern for complete heart block in the presence of a normal ECG.
Diagnostic Study of Choice
Study of choice
A 12-lead Electrocardiography (ECG) is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of third degree AV block.
Nevertheless, it might be normal in patients with transient AV block.
A Holter monitoring and/or telemetry must be performed when:
- The patient presents with sign and symptoms which raising concern for complete heart block such as:
- Syncope
- History of Heart disease
- Risk factors of Heart disease
- Elderly
- History of AV blocking agents in heir manuscript
- History of heart surgery
Investigations:
- Among the patients who present with clinical signs of third degree AV block, the ECG is the most specific test for the diagnosis.
- Among the patients who present with clinical signs of third degree AV block, the ECG is the most sensitive test for diagnosis.
- Among the patients who present with clinical signs of third degree AV block, the ECG is the most efficient test for diagnosis.
