Bradyarrythmia:

No ttt exept if asymptomatic--->

1. Bradycardia, 1st DHB, 2nd DHB type 1, RBBB

if asympt, 1st search for cause, if not--->atropine, persists--->pacing (rare)

TTT once found:

LBBB, 2nd DHB type II ----> Atopine & pacing

3rd DHB (atropine here is not usefull as a result of the wide QRS & bizzare arrangment) so give salmeterol or epinephrine in case of slow vent rate, but the ttt is pacing at once..

hope that helps
