Chronotropic incompetence—inability to increase the heart rate appropriately in response to
metabolicneed.Usuallydeterminedbyexercisingpatients.
AVconductiondisturbances
AV conduction can be diverted (fascicular or bundle branch blocks); delayed (first-degree AV
block); occasionally interrupted (second-degree AV block); frequently, but not always,
interrupted(advanced or high-degree AV block); or completelyabsent (third-degree AVblock).
Assignment of the bradyarrhythmia under investigation to one of these categories determines
prognosisandguidestherapy.
https://t.me/med1917

First-degreeAVblock—conductiondelaythatresultsinPRinterval>200msonsurfaceECG.
Second-degree AV block—periodic interruptions (i.e., “dropped beats”) in AV conduction.
DistinctionbetweenMobitzIandII isimportant becauseentities possessdiffering naturalratesof
progressiontocompleteheartblock.
MobitztypeIblock(Wenckebach)—progressivedelayinAVconductionwithsuccessiveatrial
impulses until an impulse fails to conduct. On ECG, classic Wenckebach block manifests as
follows:
□ ProgressiveprolongationofPRintervalofeachsuccessivebeatbeforedroppedbeat.
□ ShorteningofeachsubsequentRRintervalbeforedroppedbeat.
□ AregularlyirregulargroupingofQRScomplexes(groupbeating).
□ TypeIblockusuallywithintheAVnodeandportendsmorebenignhistorywithprogressionto
completeheartblockunlikely.
□ MobitztypeIIblockcarrieslessfavorablelong-termprognosisandischaracterizedbyabrupt
AVconductionblockwithoutevidenceofprogressiveconductiondelay.
□ OnECG,PRintervalsremainunchangedprecedingnonconductedPwave.
□ Presence of type II block, particularly if bundle branch block is present, often antedates
progressiontocompleteheartblock.
Presence of 2:1 AV block makes differentiation between Mobitz type I and II mechanisms
difficult.Diagnosticcluestothesiteofblockincludethefollowing:
□ Concomitant first-degree AV block, periodic AV Wenckebach, or improved conduction (1:1)
with enhanced sinus rates or sympathetic input suggests more proximal interruption of
conduction(i.e.,MobitztypeImechanism).
□ Concomitant bundle branch block, fascicular block, or worsened conduction (3:1, 4:1, etc.)
with enhanced sympathetic input localizes site of block more distally (Mobitz type II
mechanism).
Third-degree (complete) AV block—all atrial impulses fail to conduct to ventricles. Complete
dissociation between the atria and ventricles (“A > V” rates). Should be distinguished from
dissociationwithcompetitionatAVnode(“V>A”rates).
Advanced or high-degree AV block—more than one consecutive atrial depolarization fails to
conduct to the ventricles (i.e., 3:1 blockor greater). On ECG,consecutive Pwaves seenwithout
associatedQRScomplexes.However,therewillbedemonstrableP:QRSconductionsomewhereon

Distaldiseaseisnotresponsiveandcanbeworsenedbyatropine.
Reversible causes of bradyarrhythmias should be identified, and any agents (digoxin, calcium
channel blockers, β-adrenergic blockers) that caused or exacerbated the underlying dysrhythmia
shouldbewithheld.
NonpharmacologicTherapies
For bradyarrhythmias thathave irreversible etiologies or that are secondary to medically necessary
pharmacologictherapy,pacemakertherapyshouldbeconsidered.

Permanentpacing
Permanent pacing involves placement of anchored, intracardiac pacing leads for the purpose of
maintaining heartratesufficient toavoid symptoms andhemodynamic instability. Currentdevices,
through maintenanceofAVsynchrony andrate-adaptive programming, morecloselymimic normal
physiologicheartratebehavior.
ClassIandIIaindicationsforpermanentpacingarelistedinFigure7-3.
Pacemakers are designed to provide anelectrical stimulus tothe heartwhenever theratedrops
below a preprogrammed lower rate limit. Therefore, the ECG appearance of a PPM varies
dependingontheheartrateandstateofAVconduction.

ThemostcommonpacingsystemsusedtodayincludeVVI,DDD,orAAI.
AAI systems used only for sinus node dysfunction in the absence of any AV conduction

appropriate.

Althoughinfrequent,pacemakermalfunctionispotentiallylife-threatening,particularlyforpatients
whoarepacemaker dependent.Theworkupofsuspectedmalfunctionshould beginwitha 12-lead
ECG.
If nopacingactivity isseen,place amagnet overthepacemakertoassessforoutput failureand
ability to capture. Application of the magnet switches the pacemaker to an asynchronous
pacingmode.Forexample,VVImodebecomesVOO(ventricularasynchronouspacing)andDDD
modebecomesDOO(asynchronousAVpacing).
If malfunction is obvious or if the ECG is unrevealing and malfunctionis still suspected, then
formal interrogation of the device should be performed. Patients are given a card on
implantationthatwillidentifythemakeandmodelofthedevicetofacilitatethisevaluation.
Two view CXR should also be obtained to assess for evidence of overt lead abnormalities
(dislodgement,fracture,migration,etc.).
General categories of pacemaker malfunction include failure to pace (output failure), failure to
capture,failuretosense(undersensing),andpacemaker-mediateddysrhythmias.
