What harm does complete atrioventricular block have?

summary

Complete atrioventricular block, also known as third degree atrioventricular block, refers to complete atrioventricular separation caused by abnormal reduction of the conduction capacity of some part of the atrioventricular conduction system, all the excitation from the atrium can not be transmitted to the ventricle. The patients with complete atrioventricular block are more than 50 years old, and the patients with temporary complete atrioventricular block are more in young patients. Male patients were more than female patients. What harm does complete atrioventricular block have? Let's talk about it

What harm does complete atrioventricular block have?

Patients with first-degree atrioventricular block are usually asymptomatic, and most of them with atrioventricular block belong to the first type. It may be caused by the disease caused by low resistance when they were young, or it may be congenital. With the development of the future, it may always remain one degree, and it may eventually disappear and return to normal. Of course, it may also go to the second degree Third development, but as long as regular physical examination, as long as not to further development, generally will not affect normal life and heart function.

Severe second degree type II and third degree atrioventricular block can significantly slow down the ventricular rate, accompanied by obvious symptoms such as syncope, loss of consciousness, and attack of Adams Stokes syndrome, pacemakers need to be implanted to avoid long-term cardiac arrest, leading to life-threatening.

Pacemakers can be divided into single chamber, double chamber and three chamber pacemakers. For patients with atrioventricular block, if economic conditions permit, it is best to implant dual chamber pacemaker, which is close to the normal function of atrial contraction first and ventricular contraction later. But if the economy is difficult, single chamber pacemakers can also save lives. If combined with heart failure, three chamber pacemaker can be considered.

matters needing attention

No matter what kind of atrioventricular block. We should pay attention to diet and living habits, pay attention to temperance, do not drink too much, stay up too late and work overtime, do not overwork, pay attention to scientific diet and work and rest rules, so as to keep our heart healthy and keep us away from hospitals and wards.
