Unlike asymptomatic [[patients]] with Mobitz type I second degree AV block who do not require any specific therapy, [[ patients]] with Mobitz type II second degree AV block have a high likelihood of progressing to symptomatic Mobitz type II second degree [[AV block]] or [[complete heart block]] and should be considered candidates for [[pacemaker]] insertion on initial presentation. So, [[patients]] should be continuously monitored with [[transcutaneous pacing]] pads in place in the event of [[clinical]] deterioration. While stable [[patients]] are being monitored, reversible causes of Mobitz type II second degree [[AV block]] such as [[myocardial ischemia]], increased [[vagal]] tone, [[hypothyroidism]], [[hyperkalemia]], and [[drugs]] that depress conduction, should be excluded in [[patients]] prior to implantation of a [[permanent pacemaker]]. If no reversible causes are present, definitive treatment of Mobitz type II second degree AV block involves [[permanent pacemaker]] placement in most [[patients]]. There is no benefit of implantation of [[permanent pacacemaker]] in [[patients]] with long-standing [[asymptomatic]] persistent or [[permanent]] [[atrial fibrillation]]  with a [[low heart rate]] and appropriate [[chronotropic]] response.
If no reversible causes are present, definitive treatment of Mobitz type II second degree AV block involves permanent pacemaker placement in most patients. Dual-chamber pacing to maintain AV synchrony is preferred (rather than single chamber right ventricular pacing) in most patients due to the favorable hemodynamic benefits of AV synchrony. Unlike asymptomatic patients with Mobitz type I second degree AV block who do not require any specific therapy, patients with Mobitz type II second degree AV block have a high likelihood of progressing to symptomatic Mobitz type II second degree AV block or complete heart block and should be considered candidates for pacemaker insertion on initial presentation.

nts who have second-degree Mobitz type I (Wenckebach) or 2:1 atrioventricular block but with symptoms of dizziness or presyncope or even syncope that do not temporally correspond to the episode of atrioventricular block, it is unclear whether permanent pacing will improve symptoms or alleviate them.

Overview

Unlike asymptomatic patients with Mobitz type I second degree AV block who do not require any specific therapy, patients with Mobitz type II second degree AV block have a high likelihood of progressing to symptomatic Mobitz type II second degree AV block or complete heart block and should be considered candidates for pacemaker insertion on initial presentation. So, patients should be continuously monitored with transcutaneous pacing pads in place in the event of clinical deterioration. While stable patients are being monitored, reversible causes of Mobitz type II second degree AV block such as myocardial ischemia, increased vagal tone, hypothyroidism, hyperkalemia, and drugs that depress conduction, should be excluded in patients prior to implantation of a permanent pacemaker. If no reversible causes are present, definitive treatment of Mobitz type II second degree AV block involves permanent pacemaker placement in most patients. There is no benefit of implantation of permanent pacacemaker in patients with long-standing asymptomatic persistent or permanent atrial fibrillation with a low heart rate and appropriate chronotropic response.

Recommendations for management of bradycardia associated atrioventricular block
(Class III (Harm), Level of Evidence C):

Permanent pacing is not recommended in patients with First-degree atrioventricular block or mobitz type 1 second degree atrioventricular block (wenchebache), or 2:1 atrioventricular block when the level of block is in atrioventricular node or symptoms are not related to atrioventricular block
Permanent pacing should not be implanted in asymptomatic patients with First- degree atrioventricular block or mobitz type 1 second degree atrioventricular block (wenchebache), 2:1 atrioventricular block or when the level of block is in atrioventricular node
