Supports conservative management for AVB during UTT similar to asystole; observational data leaves open need for prospective validation.
Does atrioventricular block during upright tilt table test have a different prognosis compared to asystole in patients with a cardioinhibitory response?
Atrioventricular block during upright tilt table testing is rare, typically occurs in young women with sinus rate deceleration, and has a benign prognosis similar to asystole, not requiring pacemaker implantation.
Vanerio et al. (2004) studied this question.
