| Additional testing for management of bradycardia associated atrioventricular block |
| Ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring (Class IIa , Level of Evidence B): |
|
❑ Ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring is recommended in patients with first degree AV block, or mobitz type 1 second degree AV block to establish the correlation between symptoms related to bradycardia (lightheadness, syncope) and atrioventricular block |
| Exercise treadmill test (Class IIa , Level of Evidence C): |
|
❑ Exercise treadmill test is reasonable in patients with first degree AV block or mobitz type 1 second degree AV block in resting ECG who have chest pain or shortness of breath during exercise to identify the benefit of permanent pacing |
