Absence or low individual and public risk
Other and unspecified atrioventricular block - what does this mean
Other and unspecified atrioventricular block is a type of heart block in which the electrical signals that control the heart rate are slowed or blocked from traveling from the atria to the ventricles, resulting in a slower than normal heart rate.
What happens during the disease - other and unspecified atrioventricular block
Other and unspecified atrioventricular block is a disorder of the conduction system of the heart in which the electrical signal from the atria is not conducted to the ventricles. this can be caused by a variety of conditions, including congenital heart defects, ischemia, inflammation, and certain medications. it can also be caused by a structural defect in the conduction system of the heart, such as a blockage or a lesion in the atrioventricular node or bundle of his. the consequences of this block can range from minimal to severe, depending on the underlying cause and the degree of blockage present.
Clinical Pattern
More details coming soon
How does a doctor diagnose
- EKG to assess heart rhythm and conduction
- Echocardiogram to assess heart structure and function
- Blood tests to check for any underlying conditions
- Electrophysiology study to assess the electrical activity of the heart
- Cardiac catheterization to check for blockages or other abnormalities
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: To improve the conduction of electrical signals between the atria and ventricles.
- Administering medications to restore normal heart rhythm.
- Implanting a pacemaker.
- Undergoing cardiac ablation.
- Undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy.
- Receiving lifestyle counseling.
10 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Other and unspecified atrioventricular block - Prevention
Other and unspecified atrioventricular block can be prevented by maintaining a healthy lifestyle, avoiding smoking, and controlling risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol. additionally, regular check-ups and monitoring of the heart’s electrical activity can help to identify any potential problems before they become serious.
