Overview

Ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring is useful for finding intermittent atrioventricular block, LBBB and bifascicular block in asymptomatic patients. In patients with symptomatic atrioventricular block or bradycardia during sleep, screening about sleep apnea is recommended.

Screening


Recommendations for screening sleep apnea in patients with bradycardia or conduction disorder
(Class I, Level of Evidence B):

❑ Screening about sleep apnea syndrome is recommended In patients with documented or suspected bradycardia or conduction disorder during sleep
Continuous airway pressure and weight loss is recommended in patients with bradycardia or conduction disorder during sleep and documented obstructive sleep apnea

(Class IIa, Level of Evidence B):

❑ In patients with previously PPM implantation for bradycardia or conduction disorder, screening about sleep apnea syndrome is reasonable

The above table adopted from 2018 AHA/ACC/HRS Guideline[3]
