Surgery

Mobitz II

  • Implantation of permanent pacemakers in both asymptomatic and symptomatic patients is usually done. Asymptomatic Mobitz II are prone to be converted to symptomatic or third degree heart AV block. Thus, they should be considered for a pacemaker even if asymptomatic.
  • A dual chamber DDD pacemaker is preferred over a single chambered VVI pacemakers as it maintains physiologic AV synchrony.
  • A dual-chamber artificial pacemaker is a type of device that typically listens for a pulse from the SA node and sends a pulse to the AV node at an appropriate interval, essentially completing the connection between the two nodes. Pacemakers in this role are usually programmed to enforce a minimum heart rate and to record instances of atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation
