Overview
There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for first degree AV block. However, screening for congenital AV block is recommended.
Screening
- Ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring is useful for detection of intermittent atrioventricular block in asymptomatic patients.
- In patients with symptomatic atrioventricular block or bradycardia during sleep, screening about sleep apnea is recommended.
