Overview

There are no echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with AV block.

Echocardiography/Ultrasound

The presence of left bundle branch block on electrocardiogram markedly increases the likelihood of underlying structural heart disease and of diagnosing left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Echocardiography is usually the most appropriate initial screening test for structural heart disease, including left ventricular systolic dysfunction.

Recommendations for Echocardiography in Bradycardia or Conduction disorder
Medical therapy (Class I, Level of Evidence B):

Echocardiography is recommended in patients with newly identified LBBB, second-degree Mobitz type II atrioventricular block, high-grade atrioventricular block, or third-degree atrioventricular block with or without apparent structural heart disease or coronary artery disease

Echocardiography ( Class IIa, Level of Evidence B) :

Echocardiography is recommended in suspicion of structural heart disease in patients presented with bradycardia or conduction disorders other than LBBB, second-degreeMobitz type II atrioventricular block, high-grade atrioventricular block, or third-degree atrioventricular block

Advanced imaging : (Class IIa, Level of Evidence C)

❑ In suspicion of structural heart disease in patients presented with bradycardia or bundle branch block, transesophageal echocardiography, computed tomography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),or nuclear imaging is recommended

Cardiac imaging : (Class III, Level of Evidence B)

❑ Routine cardiac imaging is not recommended in patients with asymptomatic sinus bradycardia or first-degree atrioventricular block and no clinical evidence of structural heart disease

Abbreviations: PPM: Permanent pacemaker; LBBB: Left bundle branch block
