  When a P wave is present and not followed by a QRS wave (and heart contraction), there is an atrioventricular block, and a very slow pulse (bradycardia). [mountsinai.org]

• Dizziness

  and alternating periods of bradycardia and atrial tachycardia, which is caused by sinoatrial node dysfunction A constellation of signs and symptoms which may include syncope, fatigue, dizziness, and alternating periods of bradycardia and atrial tachycardia [icd9data.com]

  When your heart rhythm is too slow, this can cause dizziness, fatigue, feelings of lightheadedness, fainting or near-fainting spells. [uwhealth.org]

  Vagally mediated AV block has a good prognosis from a mortality standpoint but may lead to dizziness and syncope. [itaca.edu.es]

  Diagnosis  Clinical + ECG -syncope, fatigue, shortness of breath on exertion and dizziness. Severe bradycardia can cause haemodynamic consequences of hypotension, altered conscious state, poor perfusion, ischaemic chest pain and cardiac failure 7. [slideshare.net]

• Vertigo

  The pathological nature and therapeutic response (pacemaker implantation) are therefore determined by the presence of symptoms that can vary in severity and specificity (syncope, lipothymia, asthenia, vertigo). [cardiocases.com]

  Signs and symptoms [ edit ] The decreased heart rate can cause a decreased cardiac output resulting in symptoms such as lightheadedness, dizziness, hypotension, vertigo, and syncope. [en.wikipedia.org]

  A sudden increase of ventricular rate during VT leads to the appearance of a sensation of feeling the heart beat (palpitations), dizziness, vertigo, signs of heart failure (shortness of breath or dyspnea), chest pain or chest tightness and unconsciousness [itaca.edu.es]

  Persistent bradycardia is associated with symptoms such as fatigue, inability to concentrate, cognitive impairment, dizziness, shortness of breath or exercise intolerance, whereas intermittent bradycardia presents more often with vertigo, blurred vision [cardiovascmed.ch]

Additional workup revealed TSH of Figure 1 c). Subsequent follow-up at 3 and 6 months revealed no change from the last EKG. [academic.oup.com]

If further workup is done as an outpatient, 24- to 72-hour Holter monitoring can be used if the episodes occur somewhat frequently. If infrequent, an event recorder or ILR should be considered. [unboundmedicine.com]

If you have persistent symptoms despite medications, or an unclear diagnosis after an extensive workup for a symptomatic arrhythmia, your physician may refer you to a heart rhythm specialist for an electrophysiology study and possible catheter ablation [washingtonhra.com]

He was admitted to our hospital for further workup. Despite discontinuation of metoprolol for 1 week, his telemetry revealed multiple episodes of sinus pause, observed during daytime sleepiness or snoring episodes. [jmedicalcasereports.biomedcentral.com]

This therapy was compared with Western medicine in the treatment of 24 cases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
