2018 Guideline for the Evaluation and Management of Bradycardia and Cardiac Conduction Delay
Published: November 06, 2018
- This guideline is intended to help clinicians manage patients with bradycardia, or symptoms associated with bradycardia or cardiac conduction system disorders, it supersedes pacemaker recommendations made in a prior guideline (2008) on device-based therapy of cardiac rhythm abnormalities.
- The guideline describes a clinical evaluation approach, offers recommendations for diagnostic testing modalities and treatments, and covers principles of shared decision making.
- The guideline also explores knowledge gaps, pertinent trials in progress, and directions for future research.
