Absence or low individual and public risk
Atrioventricular block, second degree - what does this mean
Atrioventricular block, second degree is a type of heart block that occurs when electrical signals between the atria and ventricles of the heart are delayed or blocked, resulting in an irregular heartbeat. this can be caused by scarring of the heart muscle, inflammation, or a congenital abnormality.
What happens during the disease - atrioventricular block, second degree
Atrioventricular block, second degree is caused by a disruption in the electrical conduction between the atria and ventricles of the heart. this disruption can be caused by a variety of factors, including damage to the conduction system due to a heart attack, scarring from prior cardiac surgery, or inflammation or degeneration of the conduction system due to aging or inflammation. the result is an inability of the atria to effectively stimulate the ventricles, resulting in a slower than normal heartbeat.
Clinical Pattern

How does a doctor diagnose
- Medical history and physical examination
- Electrocardiogram (ECG)
- Chest X-ray
- Echocardiogram
- Holter monitoring
- Electrophysiology study
- Blood tests
- Cardiac MRI
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal: To restore normal conduction of electrical impulses between the atria and ventricles
- Prescribe medications to reduce the risk of atrioventricular block progression, including beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, and antiarrhythmics.
- Perform cardiac catheterization to evaluate the degree of blockage and the presence of any underlying heart disease.
- Insert a pacemaker to regulate the electrical signals between the atria and ventricles.
- Perform an ablation procedure to destroy the abnormal electrical pathways.
- Administer an electrical shock to reset the heart rhythm.
- Perform a surgical procedure to implant a permanent pacemaker.
10 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Atrioventricular block, second degree - Prevention
The primary prevention of atrioventricular block, second degree is to manage any underlying medical conditions that may cause it, such as coronary artery disease, diabetes, and hypertension. in addition, lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, and avoiding smoking and alcohol can help reduce the risk of developing this condition.
