Patient's question:
My grandfather was carefully diagnosed with conduction block in the hospital. Is it heart disease that you have several conduction blocks?Doctor's answer:
Conduction block is a type of heart disease with multiple subtypes, including first-degree AV block, second-degree type I AV block, second-degree type II AV block, and third-degree AV block. For patients with first-degree and second-degree type I AV block without organic heart disease, no intervention is necessary. Scheduled follow-up with echocardiography and outpatient prenatal examinations is sufficient. If the condition is second-degree type II or third-degree AV block, and the patient exhibits symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, or blurred vision, a pacemaker implantation should be performed for treatment.
