Second-degree atrioventricular block type II and third-degree atrioventricular block requiring cardiac pacing after tooth extraction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Because atrioventricular block can cause cardiovascular collapse, the rapid management of this condition is necessary. An 82-year-old man complained of discomfort after tooth extraction, and electrocardiography showed second- and third-degree atrioventricular blocks. Dentists should monitor patients who report discomfort using electrocardiography because of the possibility of life-threatening arrhythmia.

Disopyramide induced second and third degree atrioventricular block in patients with bifascicular block. An acute stress test to predict atrioventricular block progression.
Syncopal attacks in patients with bifascicular block may be due to both ventricular tachyarrhythmias and intermittent atrioventricular block in addition to non-cardiac causes and lead to antiarrhythmic treatment with drugs or pacemaker or both. The acute electrophysiological effect of intravenous disopyramide 2 mg/kg body weight given over five minutes on the His-Purkinje system was assessed in...
متن کاملSecond-degree Atrioventricular (Mobitz 1) Heart Block in a 52-hour-old Newborn: A Very Rare Case Report
Background: Cardiac conduction disorders are rare syndromes in neonates and children. According to the literature atrial septal defect, especially ostium secundum type, is associated with atrioventricular (AV) block. Wenckebach conduction heart block is very rare in a neonate; however, there is a dearth of research on the prevalence of this type of heart block regarding the neonates and pediatr...
متن کاملThe Spectrum of Acquired Atrioventricular Block in Clinical Practice
Type I and type II second-degree AV block characterize block of a single sinus P wave: Type I block describes visible, varying and generally decremental AV conduction and type II block describes apparent all-or-none conduction without visible changes in AV conduction time before and after the blocked impulse. Absence of sinus slowing is an important criterion of type II block because a vagal su...
متن کاملEarly and late atrioventricular block in acute inferior myocardial infarction.
In a group of 288 patients with acute inferior (diaphragmatic) myocardial infarction, second and third degree atrioventricular (AV) block was diagnosed in 37 (14%). Three of the 37 died. The AV block in the 34 survivors could be differentiated into two distinct types, namely, early and late AV block. In 15 patients, second and third degree AV block developed within 6 hours of the first signs of...
متن کاملWoldemar Mobitz and His 1924 classification of second-degree atrioventricular block.
Woldemar Mobitz, an early 20th century German internist, analyzed arrhythmias by graphing the relationship of changing atrial rates and premature beats to AV conduction. Through an astute mathematical approach, he was able to classify second-degree atrioventricular block into 2 types, subsequently referred to as Mobitz type I (Wenckebach) and Mobitz type II (Hay). Type I AV block was most often...
