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.
