Overview

May support pacing for exertional symptoms in univentricular heart; hypothesis-generating for AV block detection and management.

Structured PICO

Does permanent pacemaker implantation relieve exertion-induced nausea associated with progressive atrioventricular block in patients with univentricular heart?

P
Population
2 patients with univentricular heart presenting with recurrent nausea and vomiting during exertion
I
Intervention
Exercise testing and permanent pacemaker implantation
O
Outcome
Detection of atrioventricular block and relief of symptomspatient reported

Exercise testing is valuable for detecting exertion-induced AV block in univentricular heart patients presenting with atypical symptoms like nausea, which can be effectively treated with pacing.
