In particular, which type of atrioventricular block patient would be a good candidate for the implantation of a pacemaker?
a. hemiblocks
b. transmural ischemic blocks
c. posterior fascicular block
d. third-degree block
Answer: d. third-degree block
In particular, a patient with a third-degree atrioventricular block would be a good candidate for the implantation of a pacemaker. this would accommodate for the failure of the AV node to disseminate the necessary impulse from the atria to the ventricles.
