{{cquote| 
===Class I===
1. Permanent [[pacemaker]] implantation is indicated for [[third-degree AV block|third-degree]] and advanced [[second-degree AV block]] at any anatomic level associated with [[bradycardia]] with symptoms (including [[heart failure]]) or [[ventricular arrhythmias]] presumed to be due to [[AV block]]. ''(Level of Evidence: C)''
2. Permanent [[pacemaker]] implantation is indicated for [[third-degree AV block|third-degree]] and advanced [[second-degree AV block]] at any anatomic level associated with [[arrhythmias]] and other medical conditions that require drug therapy that results in symptomatic [[bradycardia]]. ''(Level of Evidence: C)''
3. Permanent [[pacemaker]] implantation is indicated for [[third-degree AV block|third-degree]] and advanced [[second-degree AV block]] at any anatomic level in awake, symptom-free patients in [[sinus rhythm]], with documented periods of asystole greater than or equal to 3.0 seconds86 or any escape rate less than 40 bpm, or with an escape rhythm that is below the [[AV node]]. ''(Level of Evidence: C)''
4. Permanent [[pacemaker]] implantation is indicated for [[third-degree AV block|third-degree]] and advanced [[second-degree AV block]] at any anatomic level in awake, symptom-free patients with [[AF]] and [[bradycardia]] with 1 or more pauses of at least 5 seconds or longer. ''(Level of Evidence: C)''
5. Permanent [[pacemaker]] implantation is indicated for [[third-degree AV block|third-degree]] and advanced [[second-degree AV block]] at any anatomic level after [[catheter ablation]] of the AV junction. ''(Level of Evidence: C)''
6. Permanent [[pacemaker]] implantation is indicated for [[third-degree AV block|third-degree]] and advanced [[second-degree AV block]] at any anatomic level associated with postoperative [[AV block]] that is not expected to resolve after [[cardiac surgery]]. ''(Level of Evidence: C)''
7. Permanent [[pacemaker]] implantation is indicated for [[third-degree AV block|third-degree]] and advanced [[second-degree AV block]] at any anatomic level associated with [[neuromuscular disease]]s with [[AV block]], such as [[myotonic muscular dystrophy]], [[Kearns-Sayre syndrome]], [[Erb dystrophy]] ([[limb-girdle muscular dystrophy]]), and [[peroneal muscular atrophy]], with or without symptoms. ''(Level of Evidence: B)''
8. Permanent [[pacemaker]] implantation is indicated for [[second-degree AV block]] with associated symptomatic [[bradycardia]] regardless of type or site of block. ''(Level of Evidence: B)''
9. Permanent [[pacemaker]] implantation is indicated for asymptomatic persistent [[third-degree AV block]] at any anatomic site with average awake ventricular rates of 40 bpm or faster if [[cardiomegaly]] or [[LV dysfunction]] is present or if the site of block is below the [[AV node]]. ''(Level of Evidence: B)''
10. Permanent pacemaker implantation is indicated for [[second-degree AV block|second-]] or [[third-degree AV block]] during exercise in the absence of [[myocardial ischemia]]. ''(Level of Evidence: C)''
===Class IIa===
1. Permanent [[pacemaker]] implantation is reasonable for persistent [[third-degree AV block]] with an escape rate greater than 40 bpm in asymptomatic adult patients without [[cardiomegaly]]. ''(Level of Evidence: C)''
2. Permanent [[pacemaker]] implantation is reasonable for asymptomatic [[second-degree AV block]] at intra- or infra-His levels found at electrophysiological study. ''(Level of Evidence: B)''
3. Permanent [[pacemaker]] implantation is reasonable for [[first-degree AV block|first-]] or [[second-degree AV block]] with symptoms similar to those of [[pacemaker syndrome]] or hemodynamic compromise. ''(Level of Evidence: B)''
4. Permanent [[pacemaker]] implantation is reasonable for asymptomatic type II [[second-degree AV block]] with a narrow QRS. When type II [[second-degree AV block]] occurs with a wide QRS, including isolated [[right bundle-branch block]], pacing becomes a Class I recommendation. (See Section 2.1.3, “Chronic Bifascicular Block.”) ''(Level of Evidence: B)''
===Class IIb===
1. Permanent [[pacemaker]] implantation may be considered for [[neuromuscular disease]]s such as [[myotonic muscular dystrophy]], [[Erb dystrophy]] ([[limb-girdle muscular dystrophy]]), and [[peroneal muscular atrophy]] with any degree of [[AV block]] (including [[first-degree AV block]]), with or without symptoms, because there may be unpredictable progression of AV conduction disease. ''(Level of Evidence: B)''
2. Permanent [[pacemaker]] implantation may be considered for [[AV block]] in the setting of drug use and/or drug toxicity when the block is expected to recur even after the drug is withdrawn. ''(Level of Evidence: B)''
===Class III===
1. Permanent [[pacemaker]] implantation is not indicated for asymptomatic [[first-degree AV block]]. ''(Level of Evidence: B)'' (See Section 2.1.3, “Chronic Bifascicular Block.”)
2. Permanent [[pacemaker]] implantation is not indicated for asymptomatic type I [[second-degree AV block]] at the supra-His ([[AV node]]) level or that which is not known to be intra- or infra-Hisian. ''(Level of Evidence: C)''
3. Permanent [[pacemaker]] implantation is not indicated for [[AV block]] that is expected to resolve and is unlikely to recur (e.g., drug toxicity, [[Lyme disease]], or transient increases in vagal tone or during [[hypoxia]] in [[sleep apnea syndrome]] in the absence of symptoms). ''(Level of Evidence: B)''}}
