Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To reduce the symptoms associated with Right Fascicular Block
- Regular monitoring of the patient's heart rate and rhythm

- Prescribe calcium channel blockers to reduce the risk of arrhythmia
- Perform an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) procedure to monitor and correct any abnormal heart rhythms
- Perform a cardiac ablation procedure to destroy the areas of the heart that are causing the arrhythmia
- Perform a pacemaker implantation procedure to help regulate the heart rate
- Prescribe diuretics to reduce fluid buildup in the body
- Prescribe anticoagulants to reduce the risk of blood clots
