Overview

Patients with second degree AV block are usually asymptomatic. However, patients with previous chronic cardiac condition may appear in a distress. In symptomatic patients, common physical examination findings include bradycardia, hypotension, and syncope. Common physical examination in patients associated with heart failure include lung crackles, jugular venous distension, and peripheral edema.
