Descripción
Sumario:Age-related degeneration of the cardiac conduction system is an important cause of heart block and a leading indication for permanent pacemaker implantations. However, variations in the myocardial refractory periods from QT interval prolongation or concealed atrioventricular node penetration from premature ventricular complexes can lead to unusual forms of conduction block not requiring permanent pacemaker implantation. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
