Abstract

Bradyarrhythmias and conduction blocks are a common clinical finding and may be a physiologic reaction (for example in healthy, athletic persons) as well as a pathologic condition. Arbitrarily, bradyarrhythmias are defined as a heart rate below 60 beats per minute (bpm). These can be further categorized on the basis of the level of disturbances in the hierarchy of the normal cardiac conduction system. A total 100 consecutive high risk patients for having coronary artery disease requiring implantation of permanent pacemaker due to complete heart block or symptomatic sick sinus syndrome or conduction diseases were taken for study.
