if secondary to MI moniter and treat with atrophine...may recover to normal rhythm once ischemia is corrected..

if persistent after MI/ if due to other etiologies,
heart block is treated when symptomatic in 1st and 2 nd degree type 1
with atrophine

2nd degree type2 and 3rd degree pace maker is must...

treat bradycardia only when symptomatic.

brady. associated with heart block..Mobitz II or 3rd degree

ultimately will need a pacemaker.
in the mean time if the patient becomes unstable u can give
atropine,
dopamine....if hypotensive even after atropine
dobutamine
or transvenous pacing.
