Presentation
Presentation The presentation of arrhythmias varies depending on the type of arrhythmia, but even within the same arrhythmia there can be significant variation in presenting symptoms. [pedsinreview.aappublications.org]
Congenital complete heart block may not present itself until the child is a few years old. The mean age of patients with complete heart block at presentation to The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, was 4.9 years 9. [jpma.org.pk]
Clinically, bundle branch blocks are a delay in the conduction pathway and they can be helpful in determining the underlying etiology to a patients’ presenting complaint. [cdemcurriculum.com]

Entire Body System
- Pain
Symptoms for third-degree heart block include: Chest pain Fainting (syncope) Dizziness Excessive fatigue Shortness of breath Heart conditions can cause third-degree heart block, as can certain medications in extreme cases. [heart.org]
You can't depend on symptoms to know when someone has a heart block, especially if it's minor, but the Heart Rhythm Society website says fainting, dizziness, chest pain, and shortness of breath could be signs of heart block. [heartconnect.com]
- Congestive Heart Failure
Entman Heart failure Congestive heart failure (also called heart failure) is a condition resulting from a variety of cardiac diseases associated with an inadequate pumping function of the heart. [britannica.com]
Bradycardia is usually related to fetal distress; supraventricular tachycardia, atrial flutter, and atrial fibrillation may be associated with severe congestive heart failure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A person with acute congestive heart failure and atrial fibrillation can be very hard to treat, because he or she has lost the 20 percent “atrial kick” to the left ventricle. [dummies.com]

Robert Roberts Liu and colleagues have identified three families (one of Lebanese and two of French origin) with isolated conduction defects consisting primarily of complete or incomplete right bundle branch block. [healio.com]
Treatment
Treatment depends on the severity of the block, and whether or not symptoms are present. Any underlying cause of the heart block should be treated if possible. Ventricular pacing is the treatment of choice. Various options are available. [myvmc.com]
Treatment usually isn’t needed for bundle branch block, but treatments may be recommended underlying health conditions like high blood pressure or heart disease that caused it. [heartconnect.com]

Pathophysiology
Early physiologic data established the distinctive cellular electrical properties of these tissues and enshrined the fundamentals of physiologic and pathophysiologic conduction. 1 Clinical cases where conduction disease was the predominant presenting [heart.bmj.com]
The most common pathophysiologic mechanism for abnormal conduction results from localized or regional depolarization due to hypoxia caused by impaired coronary blood flow. [cvphysiology.com]
As a result of this pathophysiology, the conduction time through the ventricles is prolonged, resulting in widening of the QRS complex (greater than 120 msec). [cdemcurriculum.com]
These functional defects are called “primary electrical disease of the heart.” 3, 4, 5, 6 The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying CCD are diverse, but the most frequent form of CCD is a degenerative form also called Lenegre-Lev disease 7, 8 (idiopathic [link.springer.com]
