Acute management of bradycardia in the emergency setting

Abstract

In general, sinus bradycardia or arrest, as well as atrio­ventricular block (AVB) at the nodal level, have a benign prognosis. Infranodal block (bundle of His or bundle branches) may lead to prolonged asystole without an escape rhythm. Proper clinical evaluation will lead to appropriate therapeutic measures, whereas mismanagement may have a fatal outcome.
