Table 2: Indications for Electrophysiology Study of Atrioventricular Block.
Suspicion of concealed AV junctional extrasystoles
Asymptomatic type I second degree AV block with bundle branch block
Asymptomatic second degree AV block with bundle branch block
Questionable diagnosis of type II block with a narrow QRS complex
Suspicion of bradycardia-dependent (phase 4) infranodal block
Transient second degree AV block with bundle branch block in patients with inferior myocardial infarction where the site of block is suspected to be in the His-Purkinje system rather than the AV node
Third degree AV block with a fast ventricular rate
Progressive conduction disease due to neuromuscular disorders or suspected SCN5A mutations
