Revision as of 16:07, 26 September 2019
Background
- A disturbance of atrial impulse conduction, usually in the distal conduction system[1]
- Often associated with structural heart disease
- Significant risk of hemodynamic instability, symptomatic bradycardia, and decompensation into Third Degree AV Block and subsequent cardiac arrest
- Risk of asystole 35% per year[2]
Clinical Features
- Most patients are asymptomatic
- Symptomatic patients may present with:
Differential Diagnosis[3][4]
- Anterior MI
- Rheumatic fever
- Myocarditis
- Lyme disease
- Lenegre's disease
- Lev's disease
- SLE
- Systemic sclerosis
- Amyloidosis
- Hemochromatosis
- Sarcoidosis
- Hyperkalemia
- Toxicology
AV blocks
- First degree AV block
- Second degree
- Third degree AV block
- AV dissociation without complete heart block
Evaluation
Workup
Diagnosis
- ECG findings:
- Fixed PR interval for conducted QRS complexes
- Intermittent non-conducted P-waves
- P waves march through (beware of p-waves consistently buried in T-waves)
Management
- If symptomatic, standard ACLS guidelines for symptomatic bradycardia includes[5]
- Atropine 0.5mg IV q3-5min PRN
- Transcutaneous pacing, followed by transvenous pacing
- Treat underlying etiology
- Avoid AV nodal blocking agents (e.g. β-blockers)
Disposition
- Admission for pacing and monitoring
- Subsequent permanent pacemaker
- 2:1[5] and 3:1 blocks
- May be unable to determine if Second Degree AV Block Type I or type II
- Admit to cardiology and assume type II
