2.11 Inflammation/Infection

COR	Recommendations Inflammation/Infection	LOE	References
I	Permanent pacing is indicated in patients with high-grade or symptomatic AV block attributable to a known potentially reversible cause when AV block does not resolve despite treatment of the underlying cause.	C-LD	43
IIa	Pacemaker implantation is reasonable in Chagas disease and advanced second- or third-degree AV block, as spontaneous resolution is unlikely. ICD implantation may be a reasonable alternative.	C-LD	44
III No benefit	Permanent pacing should not be performed in patients who had acute AV block attributable to a known reversible cause, when there is recovery of normal AV conduction.	C-EO
