Distinguishing pseudo from true AV block may avoid unnecessary pacing; leaves open prospective validation of ectopy-suppression strategies.
Pseudo first- and second-degree atrioventricular (AV) block can occur due to depressive effects of concealed junctional discharges on AV conduction of sinus impulses. Pseudo AV block is not indicative of a primary impairment of AV conduction and is reversible by interventions that suppress ectopy.
