Atrioventricular Block: Surgical Therapy

Indications for a cardiac pacemaker (pacemaker)

Atrioventricular block (AV block):

  • AV block II°, Mobitz type
  • Neuromuscular disease + AV block II°.
  • AV block III° (permanent/permanent or frequently intermittent/intermittent).

For the procedure, see “Cardiac pacemaker (pacemaker)” below.

Note: Patients with AV block and reduced left ventricular function benefit from biventricular pacing in terms of ventricular function and prognosis.
