Does pacing prevent further events in patients with pause-dependent paroxysmal AV block?
Prolonged monitoring is crucial for diagnosing pause-dependent paroxysmal AV block in syncope patients, which can be effectively treated with pacing.
Syncope with suspicion for a cardiac cause should prompt prolonged monitoring. Pacing of pause-dependent paroxysmal AV block can prevent further events.
Kwan et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
