Overview

Transthoracic echocardiography may be helpful in the diagnosis of the underlying diseases tend to third degree AV block. An echocardiography might show shreds of evidence in favor of cardiomyopathies and/or valvular heart diseases . In special case scenarios, transesophageal echocardiography is warranted and may help to diagnose etiologies such as valvular ring abscess. Furthermore, the left ventricular function can be determined using an echo, and provide evidences in favor of the placement of a pacemaker or defibrillator.

Echocardiography

Recommendations for Echocardiography in Bradycardia or Conduction disorder
Medical therapy (Class I, Level of Evidence B):

Echocardiography is recommended in patients with newly identified LBBB, second-degree Mobitz type II atrioventricular block, high-grade atrioventricular block, or third-degree atrioventricular block with or without apparent structural heart disease or coronary artery disease

Echocardiography ( Class IIa, Level of Evidence B) :

Echocardiography is recommended in suspicion of structural heart disease in patients presented with bradycardia or conduction disorders other than LBBB, second-degreeMobitz type II atrioventricular block, high-grade atrioventricular block, or third-degree atrioventricular block

Advanced imaging : (Class IIa, Level of Evidence C)

❑ In suspicion of structural heart disease in patients presented with bradycardia or bundle branch block, transesophageal echocardiography, computed tomography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),or nuclear imaging is recommended

Cardiac imaging : (Class III, Level of Evidence B)

❑ Routine cardiac imaging is not recommended in patients with asymptomatic sinus bradycardia or first-degree atrioventricular block and no clinical evidence of structural heart disease

Abbreviations: PPM: Permanent pacemaker; LBBB: Left bundle branch block

The above table adopted from 2018 AHA/ACC/HRS Guideline











  • An echocardiography might show shreds of evidence in favor of cardiomyopathies and/or valvular heart disease.
  • In special case scenarios, transesophageal echocardiography is warranted and may help to diagnose etiologies such as valvular ring abscess.
  • Furthermore, the left ventricular function can be determined using an echo, and provide shreds of evidence in favor of the placement of a pacemaker or defibrillator.
  • Last but not the least, there are studies in favor of an association between inter-ventricular mechanical delay (IVMD) and cardiac function in pediatric complete heart block.[1]
