Temporary pacemakers can treat conduction block, but are mostly limited to temporary treatment.
Temporary pacemakers are used as a life-saving medical device to provide emergency pacing in the event of cardiac arrest and cardiogenic syncope. In major surgical procedures, temporary pacemakers can be used to ensure the safety of surgery for patients with slow heart rates.
For patients suffering from severe heart block, implantation of an artificial pacemaker is the most effective means of treatment, artificial pacemakers mainly through the simulation of the heart sinus node impulse formation, so that the heart to obtain pacing signals, to ensure that the heart beats normally.
Temporary pacemakers, where the main body of the machine is outside the body and the electrodes are attached to the endocardium by long wires, are mostly used for the treatment of transient severe conduction block. For persistent conduction block a permanent pacemaker is often implanted.
If the ECG indicates conduction block, please consult your doctor and follow the pacing treatment if necessary to avoid delaying your condition.
