Cardiac pacemakers are effective treatments for a variety of cardiac conduction abnormalities and can reestablish adequate circulation by generating appropriate heart rate and cardiac response. Two main factors guide the majority of decisions regarding permanent pacemaker insertion. First is the association of symptoms with arrhythmia, and second is the potential for progression of the rhythm disturbance. Symptoms related to atrioventricular block are determining factor of placing permanent pacemaker, regardless of the level of atrioventricular block. Permanent pacemaker is warranted if the site of atrioventricular block is Infranodal, regardless of the presence or absence of symptoms. Temporary transvenous pacing is used to provide hemodynamic support or back-up pacing to prevent asystole. If atrioventricular block seems to be irreversible, it is better to proceed directly with permanent pacemaker implantation.
